Southeast Alaska Steelhead Discovery Film To Debut On Thursday Afternoon
The following is courtesy of Wild Steelheaders and America’s Salmon Forest Teams:
 We’re excited to tell you about an amazing new project we have been working on in partnership with America’s Salmon Forest! Next Thursday, we will launch a short film telling the story of ongoing work to find undocumented – thus unprotected – wild steelhead in the Tongass National Forest. ANADROMOUS WATERS, will be released as part of Trout Unlimited’s “Science Week,” and we have plenty of online events leading up to it. A preview: Southeast Alaska is home to around 320 known steelhead streams. But Mark Hieronymus, Trout Unlimited’s Alaska Science Coordinator, believes the true number is probably twice that. However, that’s a problem because if steelhead aren’t listed in the Anadromous Waters Catalog for that particular river, their habitat isn’t afforded the conservation measures they deserve. So, Mark’s set out to find them. A couple years in, and his project turned out slower, more tedious, and more personally important than Hieronymus first imagined. Join us next week as we share this amazing story of discovery and what comes next. Follow us on Instagram for daily event updates: Wild Steelheaders United and America’s Salmon Forest. INSTAGRAM LIVE: Thursday at 3:00 pm PT, we will be going live on Instagram to learn Mark’s vision for finding undocumented wild salmon and steelhead streams.If you’ve never watched an Instagram live event before, we are hosting the events in partnership with the Trout Unlimited page.
