Athabasca Delta

The Athabasca Delta is a large, ecologically important wetlands located in northern Alberta, Canada. It forms where the Athabasca River splits into channels and spreads out into a network of marshes, lakes, and floodplains. This rich habitat supports a diverse array of wildlife, including many bird species, fish, and mammals. The delta plays a crucial role in filtering water, storing floodwaters, and maintaining the health of the surrounding forest and aquatic ecosystems. It is also a significant area for Indigenous communities and conservation efforts, highlighting its environmental and cultural importance.
