This Guidance Document was prepared by KRI and Tsleil-Waututh First Nation to summarize the Burrard Inlet restoration project and provide accessible guidance for future restoration. The document, grounded in Indigenous knowledge and two years of field trials, highlights practical, place‑based approaches to support kelp recovery in urban and high‑current environments. The document outlines best…
These data will be used to establish a contemporary baseline of kelp distribution, with the goal to predict kelp decline and/or recovery under future climate scenarios.
The publication arises from a Directed studies project examining the effects of perceived competition and water temperature on the functional responses of the invasive European green crab, Carcinus maenas, and the native graceful rock crab Metacarcinus gracilis.
This research revealed a surprising difference in predatory behaviour between the two crab species!
The ecological impact of less than 10% of the world’s non-native marine species has been studied, representing a significant gap in knowledge about most marine invasive species.
New research challenges widely held assumptions about historical sea otter populations with implications for conservation policy and Indigenous reconciliation.
Marine stickleback have repeatedly invaded freshwater environments. On the Pacific coast of Canada, freshwater lakes are colder during the winter than the ocean – so how do marine stickleback invaders survive?
