W e share our<br />
islands and the<br />
surrounding ocean<br />
with an amazing<br />

& Wildlife<br />
Black bears are commonly seen during spring and summer along salmon streams. If you’re lucky, you’ll see<br />

shore, their huge mouths opening dramatically as they rise from the sea. Mountain goats on rocky steeps and<br />
alpine country can be seen by flightseers and hikers. Five species of Pacific salmon teem in our stream mouths.<br />
