Burrard Inlet will be dredged in #Vancouver to allow big oil tankers to increase load.

Despite concern from some that it will harm local #marinelife -- returning eelgrass, herring, salmon, seal, and whale populations.

The port says the work will not change the number or size of the largest vessel type currently sailing underneath the Second Narrows, noting that Aframax-class tankers will remain the largest vessels.
