Vancouver Island: Rivers of Life - Wildest Islands - Go Wild

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Hugging the west coast of Canada, Vancouver Island the largest island off the west coast of North America.
Its glaciers fuel the flow of some of Canada’s tallest waterfalls, and an endless network of rivers and creeks provides the ideal habitat for one of the world’s most important fish - the pacific salmon.
Each year, half a billion salmon leave the sea to return to their original spawning grounds, and Vancouver Island is the destination for millions of these determined fish.
Black bears, Bald eagles and Killer whales are just a few of the creatures that rely on the salmon to survive. It’s thought that the salmon in Vancouver Island’s streams feed more forms of life than any other creature on the planet.

    I had the wonderful blessing of growing up here on the West Coast of British Columbia on one of the unimaginably beautiful gulf islands Salt Spring Island. My memories are all about growing up on the waters of both the gulf island and the west coast of Vancouver Island, Snowboarding and hiking in the Strathcona Mountain region especially Mt. Washington. The fresh salmon during summers while camping and how amazing the beauty of Cathedral grove and the rest of the forests there. Whale watching and wading in the shallows or swimming in the especially hotter summer days... Having since moved to the prairies I cry with how beautiful it is to see pictures or videos of where I grew up, the fond memories... And better yet when i go there to visit family how immense the sensory overload I get going from the browns and big skies of the prairies to the massive forests and all its colors and smells... BC will forever be my home in my heart, especially the West Coast, Vancouver Island and SSI

    My hubby for his retirement is going to go on his dream of a life time vacation. A guided tour on Vancouver Island fishing trip. I am so happy for him, just don't know how much better to express it without tears.

    We had the privelege of staying at Telegraph Cove, Vancouver island, twice over the years of many visits to Canada. One of the best places ever. We did both bear watching and whale spotting. Saw lots of other wildlife as well. Fantastic place with some of the friendliest people you could ever wish to meet.

    I grew up at the bottom of the Comox Glacier. The mountain that you showed in your footage was completely covered by the glacier, like a white eraser top on a pencil, just thirty years ago. None of the rock that you filmed was visible, it was all under metres of ice. That's how much of the glacier has melted this century so far. Climate change is hitting the island hard and fast.

    I grew up near the southern tip of the island in the Army PMQ's at WorkPoint in Esquimalt. It really was a paradise being close to the sea and the forests all around as well as mild winters. Sadly I remember the raw sewage being pumped into the ocean around Victoria back in the 60's. They "fixed" that problem by running a sewer line a mile out into the Juan de Fuca Straights. Yum yum for fishies.

    I really love your documentaries, however, I do have a problem whenever a life form is called "monster" as was the case for the Pacific Octopus....or killer as in orcas or sharks....every life form on the planet has to eat....we eat plenty of meat....as humans we eat almost everything....so I humbly request that you drop those definitions when referring to a creature that is simply eating to live...just like everything else...Thanks....and I really do love these films. Thanks again. Namaste'

    Killed where? In Japan? Because they weren't killed on Vancouver Island. AND you can't live off tidepool animals anyway. Subsistence living from the ocean died out many decades ago. It could also support only a meager population. You have no idea what you are talking about.
