One man's mission to clean up the Duwamish

The Duwamish River flows through the heart of King County and Seattle. However, years and years of industrial use has left the Duwamish horribly polluted. In fact, six miles of the lower Duwamish River are designated as superfund clean-up sites. While the major work hasn’t begun yet, Neal Chism decided he couldn't wait any longer...and took matters into his own hands to try to save fish, birds, and other critters from harmful trash.

See how one’s man mission will help transform the once lush waterway back into its natural beauty. Watch CityStream’s Duwamish River Clean-Up now by following this link:
