Here's a brief clip of some pre-production footage we shot back in September 2013. This was part of a super-pod of Southern Resident Killer Whales that came by the Island Adventures Whale Watching boat we were filming from. We won't be using it in the final film, but we thought our fans might like to see it. Cheers! - Rick

We'll be filming our next interview in a couple of days. This time, we're sitting down with a current Congressman and diving into how legislators work to protect salmon and Southern Resident Killer Whales.
Conservation does not always align well with development, industry and exploitation of natural resources. Our questions (as they always do) will highlight what's working and what needs to be done. Still, I wonder if there isn't an opening here to ask what the balance is? What is the 'tipping point' and how do we avoid an ecological disaster by losing Chinook salmon or SRKWs? Since filming started in late September, the "Fragile Waters" team has racked up a lot of miles - on land and at sea. The map below shows a lot of our filming points, which encompasses a range of more 14,000 square miles.
The funny thing is; our biggest trips are yet to come! Cheers, - Rick This map (Wikipedia Commons) shows the locations of existing dams on Columbia Basin waterways. It illustrates just how many obstacles Chinook salmon face in reaching their historic spawning grounds.
