Presented by Kristina Disney
Journey through the ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest, where actions taken hundreds of years ago still cause ripples in the present. Previously, Expedition Leader Kristina Disney introduced us to German naturalist and explorer Georg Steller and described what the marine environment was like before the arrival of European settlers, and how colonization affected the region’s ecology. In this fourth installment, discover how long-ago activities like the fur trade continue to impact the area today—and learn about the challenges many species (including some named for Steller himself, like the Steller sea lion) face as a result.
