Another fantastic installment of Salish Sea Wild. SeaDoc is unparalleled in their ability to get the science/conservation so technically accurate while wrapping it up in such an entertaining package. Amazing!
So here's what's got me scatching my head: the biofilm seems to be evenly dispersed across the entire mud flat but the birds still scurry from place to place (using precious energy) when they could sort of stay in one spot an dip their beaks multiple times in one location. Seems like they are wasting a lot of energy....but perhaps the movement is to confuse or keep predators on their toes? It's like a bear finding a big pool on a river with lots of salmon. He stays there in the pool; he doesn't run up and down the river looking for other salmon.
Wonderfully informative and entertaining video but yikes, quite depressing at the end with the bombshell that development is going to drop the bottom out of this food chain and ultimately hasten our demise...sigh.
It’s not just the container port expansion, but the risk of an oil spill from the TransMountain Pipeline increased shipments out of Vancouver.

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! We care deeply about every word here so it means a lot.
Entertaining, fun, and educational. Well done SeaDoc! Love it!
What a great video - fun and informative! Hopes, wishes and prayers that the port expansion doesn't happen as planned or is moved somewhere else.
Wishful hope. Money and greed are what humans are best known for. Tell me i'm wrong. 🤢
I am Canadian and want to help stop the expansion!
You are the Best, Joe. Terrific story so well orchestrated.
WTG - awesome video 👍👊
Chilling opening ! ❤❤❤
🥁🤪
🤣
Love it! Great work SeaDoc!
Thanks Deb!
I admire your dedication Joe!
what can we do to oppose the port expansion?
Great question! We’re working with some cross-border organizations on that right now and will update here.

666th viewer, that opening scene is amazing, big props
"You go little Peter Piper! Peck that pool of pickled poofa!" 🤣
I'll ask Producer Bob if Joe nailed that one on the first take or if that tongue twister took some test runs!
He got that in one take! But it took him three to get “Hi, this is Joe Gaydos.”
We ❤ Joe
We do too!
