Spadina slip was the first to receive the new WaveDeck with lots of new aquatic habitat that will be lit at night to light up the life beneath the surface.
Spadina Slip grand opening took place in September providing 2500 square metres of aquatic habitat in addition to the 700m of new public space. The aquatic habitat created will invite fish and other aquatic life to inhabit the area. Conveniently this area is situated next to the Pike spawning area of the Spadina wetlands. To create aquatic habitat in this deep water, sea wall environment a variety of different measures are being used… boulders, smaller aggregate, root balls, large logs among other things all providing lots of spaces for fish to hide. Now aquatic plants will be able to root in amongst the habitat features providing both food and shelter.
