This video segment, by scientist, cinematographer, and award-winning photographer Thomas Dunklin, shows some absolutely heroic efforts to save a population of endangered salmon while their spawning stream was blocked by a poorly designed road.  This particular location -- which isn’t all that terribly far from where I live -- was part of a large and successful restoration effort in northern California to redesign road crossings that blocked fish from passing upstream to their spawning grounds.  Check it out -- I found it absolutely inspirational.  It shows the kind of positive impact that smart, caring people can have on the environment, even if it is just one tiny stream at a time.   The guys in the band and I were  happy to donate some background music for the project (Thomas used the instrumental tracks for “Mira” for this segment).
 
The title of the complete video is “Fish Passage Success Stories: A Positive Cumulative Effect in Fisheries Restoration,” 2005, published by the California Department of Fish and Game and Thomas B. Dunklin Productions.  For more information about the video, or to contact Thomas, or to view much more of his incredible photography, visit his web site:  www.thomasbdunklin.com
