Phase 2: Squamish Estuary Lower Training Berm Modification

This multi-year project is focused on the restoration of declining Chinook salmon populations in the Salish Sea and reconciliation with the Squamish Nation on the loss of their historic village and lands within the estuary.

A berm constructed in the estuary in the 1970s, without the engagement of the Squamish Nation, is impeding fish passage. This phase of the project will modify the berm to significantly restore access to more than 144 hectares of estuarine habitat to out-migrating juvenile salmonids, with a focus on Chinook salmon.
