Diamond in the Rough: THE LAKE
DELAVAN STORY video
produced while Lakes Program staff for Wisconsin's Department
of Natural Resources. Blending music and montage, inventive
production covers comprehensive and far-reaching $6
million project to rehabilitate a large recreational
lake suffering degraded water quality and near-total
takeover by rough fish (carp and buffalo). Encompasses
three-pronged approach to treat watershed, lake bottom,
and fishery to turn the lake around working with nature.
Features massive and successful effort to totally remove
existing fishery with Rotenone—a
naturally derived suffocant specific to gilled organisms—for
fresh-start restocking with diverse game fish. "Lake
Delavan, no longer a diamond in the rough but a sparkling
jewel once more."

 As
the RiverRuns—
from
ice fields to ocean,
an 8-page tabloid-newspaper extravaganza for
Clallam County's Division of Natural Resources. Set
in the mountainous rainforests of Washington's Olympic
Peninsula and debuting the artwork "What Lies Beneath?"
this upcoming feature looks at interconnected ecosystems
along a river's course from glacial headwaters down
to the nearshore marine environment. Starring salmon,
surf smelt, and stoneflies with a supporting cast of
thousands, the true-life (G-rated) story of a delicately
linked web of life spotlights critical wildlife habitats
at different life stages—which human activity and
land use can too easily damage or destroy. Stay tuned
for the spring premiere!
