This ecologically significant area consists of a rare combination of river estuary and salt marsh in close proximity. The excellent spawning conditions host 6 salmonoid species bringing abundance to the area each year during the fall salmon runs. This wetland complex is significant for waterfowl with many seasonal visitors including the Trumpeter swan, Green-winged Teal, Surf Scoter and Harlequin Duck. During the summer, the area sees an influx of nesting songbirds which contribute to the 137 species spotted here.
