Portage Inlet
Ecosystems
One of the most important biological features of Portage Inlet is the large eelgrass meadows. Eelgrass provides valuable habitat for fish (including juvenile salmon) and marine invertebrates, and feeding grounds for birds. Together, the Gorge and Portage Inlet comprise 80% of the total eelgrass in the CRD harbours. The eelgrass in Portage Inlet covers approximately 50 hectares.
