In the series opener, Jamie and Jennifer head to the Grand Manan Island, located in the Bay of Fundy. The island was formed millions of years ago, when a volcano erupted, the lava cooled and formed the western half of the island. Its people have close ties to the ocean. A local, 15 year-old Jesse Lloyd, teaches them to dulse by harvesting edible seaweed from the island's rocks. Then it's all aboard with some lucky kids on the floatable Whale Camp, to explore the Bay of Fundy and search for the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.
