Subject: Mapping of shoreline ecosystems  
  
Hi Sheila 
 
Thanks for your work  & encouragement of mapping & protecting our island ecosystems as laid 
out in the Strategic Plan. I encourage the Trust to continue the community mapping of 
ecosystems and would like to propose that we (our community with Topographics) develop a gap 
analysis which collates existing mapping information from the last 50 years (pertinent to 
Gabriola and area) around eelgrass & shoreline mapping. We would like to write a proposal to 
provide this service and are happy to collaborate with others that are overlapping this work.  
 
The new map would include information already completed by different agencies that will be 
useful to allow us to plan a strategy around mapping and target the gaps in information. 
 
If this sounds worth while we would proceed with a proposal of service to the Trust. Please let us 
know what your timeline would be for receiving a proposal.  
 
regards

Subject: Re: shoreline stewardship workshop 
 
Good morning Sheila, 
 
GaLTT has put its support behind getting some surveys of foreshore beaches for possible forage 
fish spawning through the workshops that Ramona organizes. We would certainly support any 
public workshops on shoreline ecosystems as most of us are woefully under-informed on such 
topics, and I include myself in that category even though I have a degree in Oceanography. 
 
Melanie Mamoser and David Boehm are the two on our Board tasked with following up on the 
surveys for forage fish spawning. I will say that this is an area of interest to GaLTT, but not a top 
priority, given everythin
