The $3-million, two-year Cowichan Estuary Restoration Project involves removal of two dikes
The largest estuary restoration project on Vancouver Island will see the removal of two dikes and restoration of 70 acres of marshlands along the Cowichan River Estuary.
The area was initially used for log storage and shipping. In the 1950s, the estuary was bisected by construction of the Westcan Terminal Causeway. “Due to the climate crisis and human intervention the coastline is caught in a ‘coastal squeeze.’ When the tide comes in, the water has nowhere to go,” he said. “By removing more than two kilometres of dikes at Dinsdale Farm and Koksilah Marsh, we will restore the natural processes.”
Under the plan, the Cowichan Valley Regional District will assume responsibility for the maintenance of the walking trails on the property.
