Dyke Road Park
Resilient Coasts for Salmon Project:
Green Shores for Shoreline Development Demonstration Site
As part of the Resilient Coasts for Salmon (RC4S) project, the Stewardship Centre for BC and Pacific Salmon Foundation are partnering with the Comox Valley Regional District, Project Watershed and the K’ómoks First Nation including the Guardian Watchmen to develop a Green Shores for Shoreline Development demonstration site along a section of the Comox Estuary shoreline at Dyke Road Park.
The Dyke Road demonstration site is located near the communities of Comox and Courtenay on northeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The project area is approximately 0.6 hectares and is within the traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation.

Using a Green Shores® nature-based approach, restoration of this shoreline and components of the adjacent park area will help to reclaim the ecological and cultural values of the site, including the restoration of vital nutrient and sedimentary processes which support the extensive number of significant species found at this location, including five salmon species.
The project is undertaken with the financial support from the Environment and Climate Change Canada, Climate Action & Awareness Fund.
