If there is one positive outcome from the horrible mess in the Gulf of Mexico, it is that a sizable segment of the population that couldn't have cared less about the environment is suddenly keenly aware of the interactions of soil, wind, and water that sustain us. Perhaps we've all become a bit more aware. This episode was produced well before the disaster, but it has a special poignancy now that we've witnessed this slow-motion impact on Mother Earth. That's why I hope that the whale and dolphin superhighway on the other side of the earth can stay unaffected by the Western Hemisphere pollution. Who doesn't love it that whales and dolphins zoom along on a secret superhighway between the Indian and Pacific oceans? When I chose this story, I didn't know how challenging it would be for our graphics guys. With so many man-made threats to their survival this episode comes with a wish that this disaster will make us good stewards of the oceans before it's too late.
