MacKay Estuary, North Vancouver

MacKay Creek Estuary in North Vancouver has been a site of historical industrial use and has been negatively impacted by extensive residential and commercial development. The goal of this project was to restore the riparian area surrounding MacKay Creek Estuary so that the habitat will support salmonid species and other estuarine and riparian wildlife. Restoration for the MacKay Estuary began in 2013 as part of the Burrard Inlet Estuary Restoration project with the BCIT River's Institute and will be continuing in upcoming years, as maintenance is needed to preserve the conservation efforts for this site.
