The theory you are referring to is often associated with the **"Coastal Migration Theory"** or the **"Pacific Coast Migration Hypothesis."** This theory suggests that early humans migrated from Asia to the Americas by following the coastline along the west coast of North America, utilizing sea resources and establishing settlements along the way. This route is considered one of the possible pathways for the peopling of the Americas, alongside the more traditional Bering Land Bridge theory, which suggests migration via land during the last Ice Age. The Coastal Migration Theory highlights the possibility that early migrants were skilled seafarers who traveled using boats or other watercraft.
