Restoration Objective:
Ocean Wise has been working with the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation (TWN) to restore kelp habitat in səĺilẃət (Burrard Inlet) in front of the TWN reserve where kelp beds were historically well-established and thriving. Our goal is to restore bull kelp beds in an area that is culturally significant to the TWN to provide the nation access to a culturally important marine species that was once abundant in their traditional territory.
Site Selection Criteria:
The site was chosen based on proximity to the TWN reserve in Burrard Inlet.
