 THE PEDDER BAY ECOSYSTEM

Since Lester B. Pearson College is situated on the north shore of Pedder Bay, we have an ideal opportunity to be able to study the structure and function of this ecosystem. We have established this web page to be a cumulative resource for information we gather from our field lab work in biology and environmental systems. This resource should eventually have enough information to serve as a case study of a marine ecosystem which may be used by future students at Pearson College as well as a model for others studying ecology . We welcome any suggestions or links to other sites with similar ecological case studies.

This site has been created to represent the contiguous ecosystems of the Race Rocks Ecological Reserve/Marine Protected Area and for the use of the Green Blue Spaces sub committee of the Metchosin Environmental Advisory Select Committee ( MEASC).
