https://youtu.be/XdNJ0JAwT7I Based on the documentary, write a short reflection. Include your own answers to the questions below: How are the hatcheries being operated? Where do the parent fish come from? How are larval and juvenile salmon produced and released? How do the hatcheries actually affect wild salmon populations? How do they also affect human populations, e.g., the First Nations/Native Americans of the Pacific? Do you think we can truly “manufacture wilderness”? What does the case of Pacific salmon restoration tell us about this question?
