THE LEGACY OF ATLANTIC CANADA’S SALMON FARMING
Check out this video I produced with Christoph Schwaiger, Sean Solowiej and Anne Casselman. Personally, working on this story gave me a new perspective on fish farming. From the article:
For Abbott, to call salmon aquaculture “farming” is a misnomer. “Aquaculture isn’t just like any other farming,” he says. “It’s farming carnivores in the water. It’s a totally different equation.”
To grow one pound of farmed salmon requires roughly three pounds of wild caught fish. “It takes wild fish to grow farmed fish. That’s the key rub,” Abbott says. In short, these farms use up much more fish flesh than they produce and therefore cannot replace capture fisheries .
RESTORING THE CHOCOLATE RIVER
I worked with Anne Casselman, Christoph Schwaiger and Sean Solowiej to produce this piece on the comeback of the Petitcodiac river in New Brunswick.
LIVING WITH THE KINGSTON COAL ASH SPILL
Las chimeneas de las plantas que usan carbón ya no echan humo oscuro. La mayoría de las substancias nocivas que en tiempos pasados eran liberados en la atmósfera son ahora capturados y almacenados. Pero almacenar millones de toneladas de material nocivo tiene riesgos.
Hace casi dos años en Kingston, Tennessee, un muro de contención colapsó, dejando escapar mas de un billon de galones de subproductos de la combustión de carbon.

LIGHTNING
Estoy en pleno trabajo con Expedition Blue Planet hasta mediados de Noviembre. Comida rápida, cuartos de hotel, autos alquilados … los días se pasan muy rápido. Me alegra que ayer entre Nevada y Arizona hicimos una pausa para admirar la naturaleza.
FENCING CLUB
For members of the St. Louis Fencers club competing is not everything. They carry on a tradition dating back more than 100 years.
