This project aims to evaluate the condition of habitat availability for Out Migrating Juvenile Salmon in the Lower Fraser Estuary. Using a GIS methodology the project uses existing habitat, shoreline conditions, and land use as the base of the analysis. A final series of maps shows the results of habitat availability and accessibility. The results aim to hopefully support future habitat restoration projects to better support Salmon in the Lower Fraser River and Estuary.
