Assessing eelgrass (Zostera marina) restoration in the Squamish River estuary, British Columbia
Shallow, protected estuarine areas have often been used for log storage in coastal British Columbia. Eelgrass habitats, however, often coincide with these same environments and have been negatively impacted by biophysical changes caused, in part, by these industrial activities. In order to determine the restoration potential of eelgrass communities impacted by industrial activities and changing biophysical conditions in the Squamish River Estuary, a community-based restoration assessment was commenced in the summer of 2004.
