From the remote wilderness of the Great Bear Rainforest to the vibrant cities of Vancouver and Victoria, Vaillant paints a vivid portrait of a region that is both rugged and welcoming, wild and civilized.

Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Vaillant reveals the unique character of the coast and the people who live there. He writes about the First Nations cultures that have thrived in the region for centuries, the European explorers who first arrived in the 18th century, and the waves of immigrants who have come to call the coast home.

Vaillant also explores the coast's natural history, from the towering old-growth forests to the abundant marine life that teems in its waters. He describes the challenges facing the coast today, including climate change and resource extraction, and offers a hopeful vision for the future.

Here on the Coast is a love letter to a special place, and a timely reminder of the importance of protecting our natural heritage.
