NEW! Download and print colouring pages featuring Captain Dave's Submarine Adventure! https://bit.ly/S2EP16ColouringPages

Join Captain Dave and Larry the Lobster as they voyage aboard the Mellow Submarine to the wild west coast of Vancouver Island near Long Beach, searching for rare Japanese glass fishing floats. Through their beachcombing adventure, young listeners discover the fascinating science of ocean currents and how these beautiful glass treasures travel thousands of kilometres across the Pacific Ocean over two to three years.

When Larry finds a stunning sea-green glass float wedged between driftwood logs, they meet Dr. Chen, an oceanographer who explains the North Pacific Current system—a giant circular river of water connecting Japan, Alaska, and the west coast of North America. Children learn how the same currents that bring beautiful glass floats also carry pollution across the ocean, teaching the important lesson that we're all connected by the sea.
