The channel itself, with its defined depth and current flow, is a natural travel corridor for fish. The broader region from Eclipse Channel north to Grenfell Sound has a history of traditional fishing activity. Underwater structures are likely comprised of the rocky substrate of the channel bottom and the dramatic drop-offs near the mountainous shores.
