Host Jeff Corwin travels to Alaska's Cook Inlet to assist conservationists Nicole Whittington-Evans and Suzanne Steinert in monitoring the critically endangered beluga whale population. These "great white canaries of the sea" are uniquely adapted to Arctic life, using echolocation and feeding on salmon, but their numbers have drastically declined.

The Cook Inlet beluga population has plummeted by nearly 80% since the late 1980s due to habitat degradation, climate change, and other cumulative human impacts. Conservation efforts focus on reducing these threats and balancing human and wildlife needs to ensure these iconic whales survive for future generations.
