Search and Rescue Boathouse and Community Paddle Dock (Nanaimo, BC.)

Chatwin Engineering completed an environmental assessment and marine habitat survey for the City of Nanaimo.

Our biologists and planners used SCUBA to document marine habitat characteristics at the site for the new boathouse and community paddle dock on Newcastle Channel.

The project included a review of impacts to sensitive eelgrass beds within the site, development of environmental protection measures during construction, and a habitat compensation plan to transplant of 700m2 of eelgrass at Protection Island.
