The project is also a catalyst for similar marine restorations. “The success of this project can inform other future large restoration and offsetting projects in the Pacific Northwest,” Olson said. “This project supports gateway growth and creates a highly productive habitat area. The port authority extends its thanks to Tsleil-Waututh Nation for all their collaboration on this project, and to Musqueam and Squamish Nations for their involvement.” “We are always looking for restoration and enhancement opportunities within the port authority's jurisdiction,” Olson said. “We continue to explore partnerships with all levels of government, ENGOs, and Indigenous communities. There’s a lot more work to be done."
