Chum salmon are arriving, and you can watch them
Sunday, October 21st, 2012Well, we got it done, at least for now. I’m talking about a project that included a total of 27 new videos and an interactive map, all to help people observe the annual migration of chum salmon on the Kitsap Peninsula.
This project is one reason I have not written as many stories or blog entries as I normally would have over the past few weeks.
This is the fourth remake of the salmon map, going back to the first map published in the newspaper in 1995. This year, reporter Amy Phan produced the videos, adding many more location shots. We’ve also added an overview video describing the project and how to use the map (below).
Because most of the filming was done before the rains arrived, streamflows in the videos are lower than what you will see if you go out now. If I had it to do again, I would have shot more video of salmon last fall. We’ll probably substitute some new shots of salmon in the streams.
You’ll find my story about the beginning of salmon season in
today’s Kitsap Sun. The web address for the salmon map is easy
to remember: www.kitsapsun.com/salmon.
