Purpose
Lax Kw’alaams is experiencing a consistently high rate of erosion along its shoreline, caused by sea level rise, storm surges, and strong wind. The erosion has resulted in the loss of a considerable amount of land and the community’s power, roads, water and sanitary sewer assets are now at risk. New infrastructure will be designed and built to mitigate the current and future impacts of climate change while meeting the increasing needs of the population and supporting economic growth. The project proposes to construct new rock armour revetments in order to dissipate wave energy and reduce wave runup.
