The Central Estuary Restoration Project (CERP) is a multi-year project focused on improving access for salmonids between the Squamish River and the central estuary. The focus is to restore declining Chinook salmon populations by improving access to rearing habitat within the estuary by which the juvenile salmonids can grow before entering into the waters of the Salish Sea for their four-year ocean voyage.
