Navigating Troubled Waters
The Canadian Wildlife Federation and the award winning filmmakers of Gallant Productions Inc. have teamed up to create this half hour French language documentary and four webisodes on the environmental issues facing the St. Lawrence River. Navigating Troubled Waters follows the St. Lawrence River from its start at the Great Lakes to where fresh water mixes with salt water at the mouth of the Atlantic ocean. The program looks at the impacts agriculture and other industries have on water quality and wildlife habitat.
