Workshops

Join us for a mapping workshop on a shoreline in your community!

We are hosting workshops at beaches of interest along the East Coast of Vancouver Island for the duration of the Resilient Coasts for Salmon Project. In these workshops you will learn about shoreline habitat, sea level rise, coastal squeeze, and more, PLUS try your hand at collecting data! Later on, we will host community meetings to discuss our findings on the extent of hard armouring (e.g. seawalls, riprap), and discuss options for adaptation, including which areas to prioritize for restoration.

Mapping Workshops Have Wrapped Up for 2022

We have completed our first year of mapping workshops! We are grateful for all of the participants who came out to join us on the Southern to Mid-Island shorelines of East Coast Vancouver Island.

Stay tuned for future mapping workshops

Over the next few years we will host more workshops in different communities in the upcoming years:

• Summer 2023 - Mid Island communities - Qualicum, Courtenay, Comox
• Summer 2024 - North Island communities - Campbell River to Port McNeill
• Summer 2025 - Smaller or rural Island communities - Black Creek, Fanny Bay, Bowser, Royston, and Crofton
