Sediment by Design

The SEEDS—Sediment by Design project reframes sediment as a regenerative material for climate adaptation in the Fraser River Delta. Through research by design and scenario planning, the project explores spatial strategies for sediment reuse and restoration, linking design inquiry, ecological science, and Indigenous and place-based knowledge. Grounded in a Spatial Atlas and advanced through Co-Creation Workshops with governments, communities, and researchers, SEEDS will synthesize insights into a cross-sector Regional Roadmap—a framework for coordinated action and long-term stewardship across the delta’s interconnected ecological, infrastructural, and cultural systems.
