Every day a part of my commute from in the Village to our office involves me walking past Science World along the seawall, and every day I look at the installation on the pilings there (show below) and am reminded of the history of False Creek and the effect that the shoreline restoration in the Village has had in breathing new life into it. I often find myself thinking about that whale who was attracted into the Creek a couple of years back and wonder how many more fish have to return in order for that to become a more common occurrence, and what other types of marine life might come to the area should it continue to get healthier.

In case you missed this video I posted last week, it's 20 seconds with a heron who chomps down on one of hundreds of thousands of herring who have only recently returned to False Creek.
