Two Decades of Fish Habitat Restoration and Bioengineering on the Fraser River Estuary, British Columbia, Canada
The Fraser River estuary is the most important estuary on Canada’s Pacific coast. Most of the Province of British Columbia’s populations live at the river mouth, and the estuary is an international shipping port that supports over 50 species of fish, including the largest salmon populations of any single river in the world [I]. To achieve a net gain of fish habitat, a goal of Canada’s fisheries management policy, a large number of habitat restoration projects have been conducted in the estuary since 1980. In this paper I review some of the successes, failures, and lessons learned over the past twenty years. References [Z] and [3] provide ecological assessments of some of the projects on the inner estuary, and reference [4] provides additional summary information.
