'Fragile Waters'

There's one chance to save the Southern Resident killer whales from extinction and that moment is right now.

Blaine residents and documentary filmmakers Rick Wood and Shari Macy teamed-up with Orca Network to create a groundbreaking documentary film about the resident orcas, Chinook salmon and the environment they live in.

The film tells the untold story about the decline of both the killer whales and Chinook salmon in the Salish Sea. Through interviews with the world's leading orca experts, fishermen, hatchery Brief Synopsis:

One of the most-endangered groups of killer whales faces the biggest challenge to their survival: Extinction at the hands of apathy.

"Fragile Waters" takes a multi-pronged approach to spotlighting the people currently working to save both Southern Resident Killer Whales and wild Chinook salmon and prevent an ecological disaster unrivalled in modern times.

From a whale-poop-sniffing dog to barcodes on salmon fry, no part of the story is as simple as it might seem.

Will overfishing, dams, pollution, ship traffic or climate change tip the delicate balance and spell the end for both the Southern Resident orcas and Chinook salmon? "Fragile Waters" not only defines the adversities but also outlines the hope that is alive and well in the many people fighting to save them.
There will be a Q&A session after the screening of the film. For full details and short trailer on this important film go to their website: http://www.fragilewaters.weebly.com
