MiRAGETV don’t appear on my radar that often, but when they do it’s always worth a watch. Their last pre that I watched was about Intelligent Design and boy did I learn a lot. People who have been watching the likes of Deadliest Catch should be interested in this release that appeared yesterday. It provides an inside look into what is happening with the animal life in Alaska region. Quality is nothing to complain about, with video bitrate being particularly superb. This is a very good way to spend an hour, but feel free to disagree…

A Mystery in Alaska
Unexplained declines in many wildlife species have created A Mystery in Alaska.

The Steller’s sea lions that populate the Alaskan coastline are powerful, playful, and sometimes rowdy creatures who bump and jostle each other on land but acquire a sublime gracefulness in the water. They are also the subject of a strange and tragic mystery: Steller’s sea lions are rapidly disappearing from one of the last great wildlife strongholds of the world, and no one knows why.

Naturalist filmmaker Shane Moore, who has been working in the Alaskan wilderness for much of the past 10 years, brings a sense of urgency and new understanding to this puzzle in A Mystery in Alaska.

As scientists and environmentalists race the clock to find answers, pressure has been growing on Alaska’s fishing industry to suspend most of its pollock fishing, on the suspicion that it is robbing Steller’s sea lions of an important source of food. But new research illustrated in this film shows that a broad combination of factors could be responsible for the sea lions’ plight.
