Abstract/Summary:
Construction and repairs to Nova Scotia’s roads and bridges occasionally disrupt waterways and wetlands. Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal, Nova Scotia Environment, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) ensure that three things happen on jobs near waterways. First, habitat loss is minimized or avoided whenever possible; second, efforts are made to protect the environment during and after construction; and, third, damaged habitats are restored and enhanced or new habitats will be created to compensate for lost or damaged habitat.
