We took the environmental issue and expanded it beyond our backyard, beyond our community. In fact,
we expanded it all the way across the country.

There are just 87 members that make up the Southern Resident Community of Orcas that live in
the Salish Sea. We wanted to be part of their survival by making the world aware of the daily
threats to their lives.

How can THTV best provide stewardship for the Orcas?
By doing what we do best! Producing videos to share with the world.

WHAT exactly did we Do on our trip?
Lots of time at Lime Kiln Light House because the Whales swim right into shore on a regular basis.

The films that we produce may have an impact on our peers just as Saving Luna did for us.--Matt DavisThere are hundreds of filmmakers…who have done the exact same thing we are doing now; making short films to try and bring an untold story to people who have no knowledge of the topic. The only differences between them and us is that we are high school and don't get paid to do it. We are making these videos out of our own drive to do so.--Doug Oliver
That's my job as a media maker--to spread awareness to what's going on with the Orcas. There are so many little things that we can do that will help them, but those that weren't on the trip might not know that. It's our job to inform them.--Lexii Ialungo

Now we can take what we learned from the naturalists and Suzanne (Chisholm) and share it with everyone. To say that our trip to San Juan was awesome is an understatement; it was a true life changing experience and has opened my eyes to so much more… we as humans need to take action to fix the mess we created.--Jessica RoneThe naturalists we talked to all said that educating people about the whales is the most important thing. We media makers can make a HUGE impact by just making people aware of what is going on.--Richard Summersett, Jr.Before this trip I had no idea about whales and what was going on with them… This trip educated me in not only what is happening to them but what we can do as people to stop it (further harm).--Rachel Wright

After spending just one day on the island seeing whales and learning about the major threats to the whales the entire tone of my trip changed, it was no longer about visiting. It turned into learning about the whales and trying to gather information to spread the word for a species that can't vocalize to humans that we are causing all of these problems for them and they need us to fix it.--Angelica MartinezI have learned so much from this trip from information about the whales such as the specifics of how they communicate and the toxins that affect them, to what we personally can do on a small scale to help make the lives of these gentle giants less dangerous.--Dylan Zalewski
