The Estuary Working Group was initiated as a sub-committee by Project Watershed following the “Heart of the Watershed” Symposium on Restoring the Courtenay River Estuary held in October, 2008. We are made up of 11 member organisations and individuals dedicated to protecting, conserving and restoring the diverse, productive and highly cherished K’omoks Estuary (name changed from the Courtenay River Estuary in January 2013).
