Nikki Wright’s Presentation — June 14, 2019

On Friday, June 14, 2019, Nikki Wright of SeaChange came to Metchosin to address the Talk and Walk group. A rapt audience listened to her talk about the importance of eelgrass beds, the meadows of the sea, in maintaining ocean diversit

We still have eelgrass beds in Metchosin, Nikki explained. But they are threatened.  About 13% of Metchosin’s 46 kilometres of shoreline has undergone serious anthropogenic modification.

Nikki spoke about the work that is being done through SeaChange to restore some of the compromised eelgrass beds along the Salish Sea.
