The journey to the sea begins
high in the hills, where salmon spawn. The small fry start their lives
in small tree-lined streams frequented by beavers, moose and forest
birds. Butanother world opens up when they reach Resurrection Bay at
the city of Seward. Protected by rugged coves, bays and islands, this
deep, glacier-carved fjord provides homes for many kinds marine life,
including sea otters, Steller sea lions, seals and three species of
whales—killer, humpback and gray. Puffins, murres and other diving
birds move effortlessly between air and water. Shoreline sites give
views of the bay and saltwater lagoons, while trails wind through
woods and around lakes. Boat launches and cruises open the way to
exploring the bay and maritime parks, including islands where sea
lions and seals haul out to rest, mate and raise their pups.
