Learn About The Salmon of the Pacific Northwest

Explore the Coast of British Columbia
 

The Pacific Northwest salmon blaze a silver-and-crimson course through our oceans, our streams, and our forests, giving life in much the same way as the blood pulsing through our veins. The salmon is a crucial source of nutrients for plants, animals, and humans.Ê The annual pilgrimage of the wild salmon to spawning grounds is a time for celebration.

Join One World Journeys and nature photographer Natalie Fobes, author Susan Zwinger, conservationists Ian and Karen McAllister, videographer Franklin Viola, field technician Toby Malina and digital photographer Russell Sparkman aboard the Explorer as we travel the coastal waters of Alaska and British Columbia.

On this 10-day expedition, we enter the Great Bear Rainforest in search of the rare Kermode or "Spirit" bear. Explore with us as we document orca whales, grizzly bears, and other wildlife dependent upon the salmon's annual migration. Send us an email during the live expedition with your questions about salmon.

Discover how the salmon embodies the spirit of land and sea in the Pacific Northwest. Take a journey now and learn how the remarkable salmon is a critical link in the health of an entire ecosystem.
