Visible Progress

As things start to wind-down (or should that be wind-up) for Christmas we can see continued growth in the Breakwater. As mentioned yesterday, Valley Excavators has received permission to remove the silt boom, by the Department of Fisheries. According to Melanie MacLean, Habitat Assessment Biologist from Fisheries and Oceans Canada Bedford Institute of Oceanography, "Monitoring of suspended sediments has revealed that sediment levels in Kennebecasis Bay have not raised significantly as a result of the work being conducted by the Rothesay Yacht Club." That is good for the environment and good for the project.

According to Gordon Mouland of Fundy Engineering, not having to deal with the silt boom should help make up time that was lost in November due to the unusually high water.
