NEW! Download and print colouring pages featuring Captain Dave's Submarine Adventure! https://bit.ly/S2EP18ColouringPages

Join Captain Dave and Larry the Lobster as they voyage aboard the Mellow Submarine to Quadra Island, discovering ancient clam gardens built by Coast Salish peoples over 3,500 years ago. Through their underwater adventure, young listeners explore how Indigenous engineers created remarkable rock walls in the intertidal zone that still produce abundant clams today.

When Captain Dave and Larry meet marine archaeologist Dr. Sarah Wilson and her son James, they discover these Quadra Island clam gardens are sophisticated structures that produce two to four times more clams than natural beaches. Children learn how Coast Salish peoples understood ocean dynamics, temperature patterns, and marine biology thousands of years before modern science.
