I worked with reporter Lynda Mapes, video journalist Ramon Dompor and photographer Erika Schultz to explore the plight of steelhead in the Pacific Northwest. Despite their adaptable nature and their designation as the state fish, steelhead in Washington are diminishing. We looked at the cultural implications of losing a fish so embedded in the fabric of the PNW.

We produced two video stories as part of this package. I filmed and edited this story with the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe.

I also edited a piece Ramon filmed with the Wild Steelhead Coalition on the Hoh River, which can be viewed on the project page.
