  • have positive effects on social well-being by providing employment, maintaining and enhancing public access to the coastal marine area, and providing facilities to support community connection and recreational opportunities
  • generate employment by providing:
    • approximately 30 full-time equivalent jobs over a 9-month construction period
    • additional jobs during the design and consenting phase
