The Float’em Totems are an allegory that we are "fishing down the food web", systematically targeting species at ever-decreasing trophic levels. Each float represents a different species along the spectrum, from the largest apex predator to the tiniest primary producer. Together they symbolize the unsustainable demands we are placing on the totem of marine life. Two totems are featured in the Tofino Float'em Garden.
