Connecticut's Connection To The Sea

This film is about where I live in Connecticut and what happened to the Atlantic Salmon that used to be plentiful in the Connecticut River. I interviewed Steve Gephard, a fisheries biologist for 42 years with the DEEP. He explained how climate change and people were responsible for the salmon disappearing from the river. He has also been working his whole career to bring them back. Now he’s educating people like me about the former federal project and what can happen in the future for the salmon.
