ABOUT THE ATLAS
The Community Salmon Restoration Atlas is an interactive map of habitat restoration projects funded by the Community Salmon Program, with projects from other community-based groups to be added in future.
With this Atlas, community groups and anyone interested in restoration can learn about past projects. Information on the location, activities, techniques employed, people involved, and outcomes can be explored. Together this can inform future restoration strategies and priorities.

We Welcome Additional Community Restoration Projects
Our goal is to include as many community-funded salmon habitat restoration projects in the Atlas as possible. We will add projects that West Coast Aquatic and Redd Fish Restoration Society are collating, and we are also interested in collecting information on other community-funded salmon habitat restoration projects throughout British Columbia. If your community group has estuarine, marine or freshwater restoration projects it would like to add, please see the Contact Us page and send us an email if you have information to share, or use the Data Submission Form.
We also recognize the tremendous value in gathering traditional ecological knowledge and one goal of the Data Centre is to collate these vital types of information. See the First Nations page for details of the First Nations Ecological Knowledge Project.
