Hightide: Scat
Found along the Pacific Northwest, these wolves derive up to 90% of their diet from the ocean. Their high-tide scat is easily identifiable by an abundance of salmon bones, clam shells, and seal hair.

It's important to remember that scat-based surveys are a powerful but sometimes imperfect tool. Scat decomposes at different rates depending on the weather, and it can be difficult to distinguish between the droppings of similar species. However, when used correctly, scat surveys provide a cheap, non-invasive 'snapshot' of occupancy for many medium to large mammals. Found along the Pacific Northwest, these wolves derive
He stopped near the Old Pier. There, tangled in a nest of black kelp, was a cluster of iridescent, leathery pouches. To a tourist, they might look like "mermaid’s purses" (shark eggs), but Elias saw the rhythmic pulse inside them. They weren't from any shark he knew.
