Audio: CBC Ideas-Alexandra Morton & Saving Wild Salmon

Share

tip of Vancouver Island. Those whales eat sockeye salmon. When Morton learned
that these fish were endangered, she decided to save the salmon, in order to
protect her whales.

Last fall, during an unanticipated and completely amazing run of Sockeye salmon, Paul Kennedy visited with Alexandra Morton near the shore of a feeder stream of the upper Fraser River, in Northern British Columbia.
