For February's blog post, we would like to introduce Bob Turner, whose incredible film making inspires us to protect our marine habitats and be diligent stewards of our earth.
Bob Turner is a long-time resident of Nex̱wlélex̱wem /Bowen Island, its former mayor, and a retired federal geoscientist, who began film making in 2014.
Since then, he has created over 40 short movies for his Bob Turner YouTube channel and website (OurSalishSea.ca) about wildlife and wild places in Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound, and more recently, around the Salish Sea.
From 2016 to 2021 he was part of the team that achieved the UNESCO Biosphere Region designation for Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound.
