Projects:

  • Project team aimed to restore kelps to enhance the marine health of kelp forests along 3 kilometres of coast in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, and Haida Heritage Site, and in turn provide kelp habitat for a range of ecologically, culturally and economically important species such as abalone, rockfish, and lingcod. Larger kelp forests also benefit coastal communities by increasing coastal productivity, supporting ecologically sustainable use.
