Environmental journalism interests Evert most and he aspires to focus his reporting on climate change, biodiversity issues and endangered species. Along with English, he speaks Spanish and German.
Some 250 years ago, Pacific herring existed so abundantly in the Salish Sea that the Lekwungen Peoples would rake them from the ocean. Today, more than a century of settlers overfishing this species continues to have impacts on regional bird life.
