SUMMARY:Streams of Thought Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:As part of Whatcom Water Week\, Streams of Through Film Festival will feature four films at the Pickford Film Center: \nEbb and Flow: Sept. 16\, 6:30-8:30pm \nhis film follows 93yr old Jerry (Eiichi) Yamashita’s recounting of the family history to his son Patrick\, around a campfire on their shellfish tidelands. Relying on Jerry’s excellent memory and rare archival footage\, we are taken on a journey spanning three generations\, beginning with Jerry’s father Masahide’s immigration from Tokyo to Seattle in 1900. Arriving with nothing but the clothes on his back and an irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit\, his many years of seemingly unending struggle\, are revealed. Eventually\, his talent for problem solving would play a pivotal role in saving the west coast shellfish farming industry from complete collapse in 1930\, with a Japanese Oyster. Ebb and Flow Trailer \nAlso showing with the feature film are locally produced short films: \nServants of the Salish Sea and Oystertopia\, Stewards of the Salish Sea \nFilm producers for the feature film and the shorts will be available to answer questions! \nSonic Sea: Sept. 17\, 1:00-3:00pm \nOceans are a sonic symphony. Sound is essential to the survival and prosperity of marine life. But man-made ocean noise is threatening this fragile world. Sonic Sea is about protecting life in our waters from the destructive effects of oceanic noise pollution. Sonic Sea Trailer \n​Guest Speakers: \nMichael Jasny\, Director\, Marine Mammal Protection Project\, NRDC\, and Rob Williams\, Co-Founder\, Oceans Initiative. \nPaddle to Seattle: Sept 18\, 8:00-10:30pm \nTwo best friends build their own kayaks and paddle alone for 97 days in the wilderness over 1\,300 miles from Alaska to Seattle and survive to talk about most things. Paddle to Seattle Trailer \nShown with local film short “North Fork River Rats.” \nBeyond the Mirage: Sept 19\, 8:00-10:00pm​ \nBeyond the Mirage is a journey deep into the fascinating water shortage that is unfolding across the Western United States.

SUMMARY:Salmon Sighting
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who has seen salmon swimming their way up our watershed to spawn can tell you this is a must see feature of living in the Pacific Northwest. The incredible display of perseverance and resilience can teach us a lot during Washington’s darkest and rainiest season. We invite you to join us in exploring the inspiring story of salmon at Thompson Creek Bridge. \nNSEA naturalists will be available to answer questions. Event open to all ages\, no cost and no RSVP needed to attend. Open house style\, visit anytime between 10-12pm! \nSpecial Note to Pet Owners: Please leave your 4-legged friends at home so as not to disturb the salmon while spawning – their energy is already limited and additional stress can be lethal at this final stage in their lifecycle. \nDirections: From the Glacier Public Service Center head East on Mt. Baker HWY/SR 542. Half a mile past mile marker 34 on SR 542\, take a right onto Glacier Creek Road. At the fork\, take a right onto Thomson Creek Road/Heliotrope Ridge Road. Continue down this road for 1 mile until you get to Thompson Creek bridge. Look for the blue NSEA tent near bridge. \nThis is a Whatcom Water Week event. \n
