Not On My Watch: How a Renegade Whale Biologist Took on Governments and Industry

INTRODUCTION Wonder and Resistance When I was a child I was drawn to animals, especially the wild ones, and to the ponds and forests where they lived. I was curious. No matter whether I was looking into the gold-flecked eye of a frog, or at the way a deer held her ears as she stepped out of the forest at sunset, animals were mysterious, beautiful and wise.

Not On My Watch by Alexandra Morton (Paperback Book)

Alexandra Morton came north from California in the early 1980s, following her first love – the northern resident orca. Then, in 1989, industrial aquaculture moved into the region, chasing the whales away. Soon Alex had shifted her scientific focus to documenting the infectious diseases and parasites that pour from the ocean farm pens of Atlantic salmon into the migration routes of wild Pacific salmon, and then to proving their disastrous impact on wild salmon and the entire ecosystem of the coast. Alex stood against the farms, first representing her community, then alone, and at last as part of an uprising in which ancient Indigenous governance resisted a province and a country that wouldn’t obey their own court rulings. She has used her science, many acts of protest and the legal system.
