Here, wolves crack clams, feast on fish roe, swipe salmon from rivers, and swim miles between islands--as long observed by the First Nations communities that have lived alongside them for thousands of years. However, with the rise of industrial logging, pipeline projects, and other threats, sea wolves face a troubled future. Wildlife experts and First Nations members agree: these majestic creatures are a vital part of the ecosystem and need to be protected.
