The final goal is to make sure that the management plan is up to date while taking into account current Regional Stewardship objectives.

Wildlife disturbances, such as littering, have diminished while public support of limiting human activities in the area is generally improving.

This means the needs of the local First Nations, Government, stakeholders and public are all adequately reflected, which falls in line with the Stewardship objectives.

[14] Some fish species listed by Ducks Unlimited Canada are catfish, shiners, Coho salmon, rainbow trout, steelhead, and carp.

[19] The Ramsar designation for the Fraser River Delta covers six key locations Burns Bog, Sturgeon Bank, South Arm Marshes, Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area, Serpentine, and the Alaksen National Wildlife Area (no longer considered a Ramsar site).

According to their website, the designation is due to its international importance as a "stopover" area, giving roughly 250,000 migrating and wintering waterfowl and 1 million shorebirds the necessary feeding and roosting sites they need.

[19] The American bittern, for instance, is noted as a species of concern as they are vulnerable to human-caused disturbances, hence why they are on the Blue List in British Columbia.

This location is vital for many migratory bird species at risk like the American Bittern and the Western Sandpiper, due to the biofilm found in the mudflats.

[20] Shorebird populations trends are lower when the Fraser River is high, due to variability in biofilm quantity when salinity during the spring freshet is altered.

[21] Sea levels rising, high tides, and extreme weather, like heavy rainfall, have been leaving a global impact, and the Serpentine Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is also facing the effects.

[22] According to the NOAA, issues such as coastal squeeze caused by the artificial walls put up, like the dyke system, will lead to the loss of wetlands.

[24][25] Another issue of channel modifications, like the dyke system that causes changes to the water flow, is the negative influence on species’ food supply and quality.

The Serpentine Wildlife Management area has a 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long level trail that loops around its circumference, roughly taking 1.5 hours to walk, and is open year-round.

[27] The trail is mainly gravel and narrow in areas, contains three viewing towers, allows for fishing (with basic non-tidal licence if 16 or older) and is dog-friendly.
