Roberts and Sturgeon Banks Reach Overview, Phase 2

Roberts and Sturgeon Banks, globally significant ecosystems, were the subject of a Phase I study that described the ecological features and functions of the habitats. The Phase II project involved an analysis of water, shoreline and upland issues that transcend individual municipal and agency boundaries. The purpose of the study was to prepare management strategies that consider changing conditions as a result of climate change and other emerging issues, and to compile the strategies into a planning and decision-making tool that integrates foreshore and upland activities. The process involved working closely with FREMP, a stakeholder workshop, and a workshop with estuary scientists.
