Workshop: Forage Fish Beach Enhancement
Forage Fish Beach Enhancement: The Past and Present of the Science. The Future of the Effort. The objective of this beach enhancement workshop is to present the “state of the science” and then explore alternatives for incentivizing more beach enhancement on armored private shorelines with degraded habitat. Abstract: As the Salish Sea has grown in popularity, waterfront development has led to widespread stabilization of natural marine shoreline erosion. On forage fish spawning beaches, the burial of upper beaches under erosion control structures, associat… Continue reading →

Workshop: Natural Processes for the Restoration of Drastically Disturbed Sites
Presenter: Dave Polster, Polster Environmental Services d.polster@telus.net Length: Half Day Natural processes have been “reclaiming” natural disturbances since the beginning of time. This half day workshop will explore how these natural processes can be applied to the reclamation of sites that humans have disturbed. It is clear that traditional reclamation programs are failing to generate the ecological goods and services that were lost during the disturbance of the site. Providing erosion control is a key element in the development of effective res… Continue reading →
