Environmental enhancements are not always visible...
.. take for example the creation of an artificial reef at Cates Park to provide additional marine habitat. Constructed earlier this year, the 600 tonne reef is expect-

ed to be home to a a variety of algae, invertebrates, and fish (such as Ling Cod, a species that has previously been in decline) and provides a shore-accessible,

safe diving location.
i. another example is Maplewood Flats, a 23 hectare waterfront site (south of Dollarton Hwy. in N. Van. ) that was set aside by the Vancouver Port Corporation

(VPC) for a wildlife conservation park and to house the newly opened Pacific Environmental! Science Centre.
A sustainable economy requires a sustainable environment — the Vancouver Port Corporation believes that it must be a responsible steward of this great .
resource — The Port of Vancouver.

.the Vancouver Port Corporation is:
* the first port in Canada to establish an Environmental Services Department and to adopt an Environmental Policy with Environmental Appraisal

Procedures and Audit
* a leader in developing creative marine habitat enhancements such as artificial reefs and innovative berths designed to create additional living space

for marine life
j -* one of the founders of the Burrard Inlet Environmental Action Program
