Boundary Bay is one of three key components of the Fraser River Estuary Important Bird Area.
Together with Roberts Bank and Sturgeon Bank, it ranks highest among 597 Important Bird Area sites in Canada and is
considered to be among the top 20 wetland sites in North America. Boundary Bay lies on the Pacific Flyway migration corridor
between the Arctic and Central and South America. It is visited by millions of birds every spring and fall, and hundreds of
thousands of ducks and geese winter in the area. Boundary Bay is also the most important location in Canada for numbers
and diversity of wintering birds of prey.
The Important Bird Area program is an international, cooperative initiative organized by BirdLife International partners around
the globe. In Canada, the program is coordinated by Nature Canada and Bird Studies Canada. In British Columbia, the lead
partner is the Federation of BC Naturalists (BC Nature).
Boundary Bay is also a Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network Site. The WHSRN program is an international,
cooperative initiative to protect shorebirds and their habitat along the migratory flyways.
