Science Documentary Film: Alexandra鈥檚 Echo
Part of the Redpath Museum's Spotlight on Biodiversity summer film series to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity.
Alexandra Morton has dedicated her life to studying the ecology of the Broughton Archipelago, located off the mid-coast of British Columbia. Her unmatched passion for whales brought her there many years ago. However, the once very healthy whale population has been driven away, and it became her passion to find out why. This spawned her extraordinary study of salmon 鈥� both farmed, and wild 鈥� of the Broughton Archipelago. The data she is collecting on the inter-connection of the orca whales, grizzlies, eagles, seals, and salmon, is slowly setting off alarm bells that governments and fish farm corporations refuse to hear.
