Eelgrass Restoration Pilot in ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ (Tla-o-qui-aht) Nation Traditional Territory

This collaboration between Redd Fish and DFO supports a ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ (Tla-o-qui-aht) First Nation-led eelgrass restoration pilot in the hiłsyaqƛis (Tranquil Creek) estuary. The project invests in knowledge sharing, building community capacity for future restoration, and strengthening relationships that support long‑term stewardship of salmon habitat and shoreline ecosystems. Guided by ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ leadership, the pilot will restore a culturally and ecologically significant area while creating lasting opportunities for learning and climate resilience.
