Many of the things that make your habitat a home move through the Port of Vancouver. But they shouldn’t come at the expense of natural habitats. That’s why we created the Habitat Enhancement Program.
Together with project partners such as the Vancouver Park Board and Indigenous nations such as Musqueam Indian Band, Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation, we’ve restored over 37 acres of shoreline habitat that support a wide variety of fish and wildlife. It’s one way we help maintain a balance between a healthy environment and port activities.
Over the last 30 years, we—with our partners—have completed habitat enhancement sites across the Lower Mainland region, including:
- New Brighton Park Shoreline Habitat Restoration Project
- Maplewood Marine Restoration
- Salt Marsh Restoration Projects
- Glenrose Tidal Marsh Project
