Purpose

The project is valuable because it is a long-term environmental monitoring at twelve permanently established foreshore sites around Cortes Island; the most extensive rocky shore quadrat monitoring project in the Salish Sea, to date.

Rationale is:

* Climate change is causing rising ocean levels, increased acidification, rising water temperatures, and increased * Marine biodiversity is also threatened by other human impacts not directly related to changing climate

Credit

Many dedicated volunteers have gathered the foreshore data, often in inclement weather and in a physically hazardous environment.

Kei Poon and Terry Curran entered the data from paper copy to digital.
