CCCW Barrier Islands Shoreline Restoration 2023

In 2023, RCRS launched a shoreline clean-up project on the Barrier Islands. In partnership with the Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k:tles7et'h' First Nations and the Ocean Legacy Foundation, and funded by the Clean Coast Clean Waters (CCCW) initiative, our team cleaned 4.2 km of coastline resulting in the removal of 5,055 kg of debris from the Barrier Islands shoreline and creation of 22 jobs.

We are grateful to the Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k:tles7et'h' First Nations for their warm welcome into their territories and their collaboration.

We would like to acknowledge that the work and play we conduct occurs on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish, Kwakwaka'wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth, Wuikinuxv, and Heiltsuk First Nations. We acknowledge that by being here, we must abide by the laws of the Nations whose land we are upon. We give thanks and recognition to the original stewards of these lands for their ongoing efforts to 'protect what they love' and for partnering with us on this worthy cause.
