The Salmon People podcast – a 20-year battle to save Canada’s wild salmon
EPISODE 3: When Alex left the orcas behind to study deadly sea lice, she knew she couldn’t be everywhere, so she gathered an army of sea lice helpers — citizen scientists from all over northern Vancouver Island willing to collect smolts and count sea lice for her research. An unlikely detective, whale biologist, Alexandra Morton would be pulled into a battle against government, industry and multinational corporations. A story like this one should have been an “Erin Brockovich moment”. But it didn’t quite play out that way.
The Salmon People podcast is a co-production between award-winning journalist Sandra Bartlett and Canada\’s National Observer.
