This area has in the past been modified significantly from the natural shoreline. Several seawalls have been installed in the past to deal with drainage problems or erosion threats , or to improve sea views or add to usable property on the foreshore. Typically land owners do not like to be criticized for actions on their properties which they believe will be constructive. However current standards as outlined in the documents “BC Government Publications Index for Stewardship Centre on Coastal Planning and Land Use” would probably not allow such impacts any more.
