Nanaimo River Estuary eelgrass study : updated 2020 / by Sarah Bonar & Chris Zamora. : Fs97-17/58E-PDF
"Aquaparian Environmental Consulting Ltd was retained by the Nanaimo Port Authority (NPA) and the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) to complete an assessment and report of Pacific eelgrass (Zostera marina) distribution within the Nanaimo River Estuary, Nanaimo, BC. … The report is intended as an update to past eelgrass studies within the estuary including the Nanaimo Estuary Management Plan (February 2006) produced by Catherine Berris Associates Inc. and a report produced by Precision Identification titled Nanaimo River Estuary Eelgrass Restoration Assessment dated June 25, 2012. When compared to the Forbes and Foreman compilation map of 1976 which was at the height of log booming activity, eelgrass distribution (2015/2020) appears to have increased substantially across the estuary approximately doubling in area from what was mapped in 1976. The northeast quadrant shows the most recovery of eelgrass. The Eelgrass distribution found in the 2015/2020 estuary study appears to be comparatively similar to findings documented within the Nanaimo Estuary Management Plan 2002 Map 5. It is the intent of this document to assist with future management decisions regarding the ecological health and wellbeing of Nanaimo River Estuary"--Abstract, page iv.
