Documentary • 12 min • 3 seasons, 26 episodes
Episode synopsis
What do salmon-and their sex lives-have to do with keeping a forest healthy? Bertie explains that salmon equal more than just meal time for coastal predators roaming the shores and tidal shelves; they're also a rich source of marine nutrients for the soil on Vancouver Island and an integral player in the island's ecosystem, all thanks to their mating cycles. The unique relationship between the land and the water is the focus of Bertie's fascination with this wild place.
