One of our team members, Allison Hunt, has worked closely with Tsleil-Waututh Nation to put together a series of Water Quality Objective Maps which were completed in February 2020. These maps included data from 29 sources, all of which were in different formats, attribution categories, and methodologies. We were able to consolidate this data into clean datasets and to represent all the information together accurately.

The proposed objectives can be viewed here.

During the summer of 2020, Inlailawatash assisted in the maping of kelp extent along an eight-kilometer section of shoreline in Vancouver Harbor and Burrard Inlet.

A drone was used to collect high-resolution orthomosaics which was combined with ground observations and image classification techniques to interpret the extent of kelp coverage within the project area. 

Inlailawatash assisted Sts’ailes in the development of a comprehensive bioregional atlas for Sts’ailes “Xa’xa Temexw”. The intent of the atlas was to assist in outlining the high level land use framework/strategy for the entire Harrison Watershed, articulating the critical biophysical features, areas of concern, and culturally sensitive areas pertaining to the Sts’ailes traditional land use histories and current negotiated rights and title status. A total of 22 maps were created for the atlas, which will be used by Sts’ailes to assist in negotiations, economic development, public education, future planning and cultural protection.
