On Sunday, April 29, renowned marine biologist Dr. Alexandra Morton will speak at 1 p.m. at the Gallery at Artisan Square. Her tireless research into and publication of the causes of the demise of the West Coast's wild salmon has led to a heated debate and the calling of the Cohen Commission. Morton is the author of Listening to Whales, what the Orcas have taught us, her primary field of research.
Her work on salmon is funded by donations only. With her presentation on Bowen she hopes to increase the voice for the wild salmon.Bowen Island artist Hans-Christian Behm has created a limited edition print entitled Salmon are Sacred, the Sockeye Life Cycle, that is sold as a fundraiser in support of Morton's work.
