Alexandra's Echo

Alexandras Echo is the story of a powerhouse of a woman, and of the delicate world shes fighting to save. Alexandra Morton lives in paradise remote Echo Bay in the Broughton Archipelago off the wild west coast of British Columbia, Canada. Alexandra fears that it will be paradise lost, if she cannot stem the relentless tide of industrial fish farms into the Broughton: Whats the real price of cheap farmed fish? Nothing less than the destruction of the last temperate rain forest in the world. The documentary follows Morton, one of the worlds foremost experts on killer whales, as she gathers evidence in her desperate crusade to save the wild Pacific salmon. This film is also a love story: Alexandra is drawn to the Broughton by her love of an animal, stays because of her love of man. When he dies tragically, Alexandra remains because she has fallen in love again, with this place.

Miss Morton said pink salmon will go "extinct" They didn't. She said Atlantic salmon will decimate wild spawning grounds. They havent. She says BC salmon farmers are Norwegian. They're not. Does she ever get it right? You bet, when she said.

"I don't have a great set of credentials."

It is a good thing " Vivian Krause' is in to research. Look for her interviews on Youtube. American foundations have payed over $90 million to promote so called wild Alaskan over farmed. Millions of that money went to so-called grassroots protests in western Canada. Why didn't these foundations put any money to enviromental action in the Gulf of Mexico, on the eastren seaboard or the Alaskan coast? Perhaps American born Morton would be better off watching her own waters.

@fleetyabas I dont think she can expose much at all. The Pacific Salmon Forum PSF - a non-biased scientific body ordered to look into the sea lice issue found that the studies Morton was citing (her own), were incorrect. Co-author Marty Krkosek agreed. Morton and Krkosek were asked to “recalibrate”. She concluded that “the survival of the pink salmon cohort was not statistically different from a reference region without salmon farms.” That’s right – no extinction. Not even a difference.

Google"A charity with plenty of very long tentacles". We are being Americanized, and you wont beleive who are in their pockets.

"They are de facto political organizations in B.C.," he says. "They're distorting the balance of power where a few people control these huge amounts of money that flow in from the U.S." And, he believes the growing impact of environmental groups is only hurting British Columbia's economic potential".
