He was leading a group of tourists on a boat tour when he looked into the water and noticed young salmon — called smolt — acting strangely.He’d found a clue.He took it to an unlikely detective — a whale biologist, Alexandra Morton — who’d be pulled into a battle against government, industry and multinational corporations.A story like this one should have been a hero’s tale. An Erin Brockovich moment. But it didn’t quite play out that easily.This is the fascinating story of a 20-year battle to save Canada’s wild salmon.
