Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society is a transboundary, marine-estuarine, watershed stewardship group. We are project-focused, working in the Boundary Bay Area ecosystem and within the greater context of both the Fraser River Estuary and the Georgia Strait-Puget Sound.

With increasing human population and accompanying pressures, opportunities for reconnecting with the natural world and learning experiences through wildlife viewing and educational activities encourage future respect and reverence for all natural areas.

What are we doing?

• Community and habitat mapping
  
• Educational programs, activities and displays
  
• Water quality sampling and data collection
  
• Invasive species removal
  
• Native planting and marine, estuary and terrestrial enhancement

• Annual Birds on the Bay Program
  
• Nest Box Stewardship Program
  
• World Ocean's Day Celebration
  
• Eelgrass Conservation Initiative
• Georgia Basin Habitat Atlas:  Boundary Bay
  
• Data collection and bio inventories
  
• Water quality sampling
