The Places

From the windswept fjordlands of Knight Inlet to the rough waters past Cape Caution, the places on the North Island and Central Coast are one of our best kept secrets. Northern resident orca rub on the beaches of Malcolm Island and Robson Bight, and old canneries dot the inlets and coves, harkening to a time when fishing was the predominant way of life. Have a look at some of the unique places that are important to the people on the Central Coast:

This image of the Wannock River on a frosty November morning, reminds me of times spent on the river observing spawning salmon and watching the mist rise off the river, while a grizzly and her cubs are foraging nearby. The Wannock, at the head of Rivers Inlet, is a special place for me, not only for the rich diversity of wildlife in this area but also because it is the ancestral and current home to friends of mine who are members of the Wuikinuxv First Nation.

These ruby-lipped gooseneck barnacles (a unique variation of Pollicipes polymerus) are only known to grow in the Nakwakto Rapids, Seymour Inlet, area due to their high need for oxygen. They certainly get that here with tidal exchange delivering current up to 16-20 knots. For sheer diversity of life, there is no other place like this on earth.
