Great Lakes Chronicles: Coaster Brook Trout

The Salmon-Trout River in the Yellow Dog Plains is a special untouched area in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It is home to one of the last spawning locations in the America for the Coaster Brook Trout. This area and the Trout that come here are under attack by an environmentally damaging sulfide mine by Kennecott Eagle Minerals, who are known for their disregard for environmental safety practices. Please watch this video to be informed.

I produced this video with my friend David Peterson and my brother Mark Schriemer.

Awesome work Peter! I'm just starting to get into this kind of thing, and am planning a trip to Patagonia this summer to film the tension surrounding the construction of massive dams on two of Chile's biggest and wildest rivers. Seeing what you've done here is really helpful and inspiring.

@andysj531 Cool Andy! Great to hear from you after all these years! So glad you're continuing your passion for birds. I was impressed with your knowledge and drive when you were quite young, so it's great you've kept it up and are following your dream! I did the same and I love being a wildlife filmmaker and TV host - great stuff! Keep up your great work - and stay in touch! :-)
