From Mumbai With Love
______
Afroz Shah Foundation
Overview
Follow the story of Afroz Shah, a lawyer by profession and founder of the Afroz Shah Foundation who has led his local community in river clean-ups around the Mithi River in Mumbai. In Hindi, the word for “sweet” is Mithi. Mithi is also the name of Mumbai’s largest river, but its waters – concealed beneath a veil of floating plastic – are anything but sweet. The Mithi River originates inland at Vihar Lake. After an 18-kilometer journey past everything from slums to 5-star hotels to skeletons of once-thriving mangroves, the river drains into Mahim Bay, where it ultimately joins the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Deep Dive
______
Nathalie Lasselin
OverviewJoin professional diver and underwater explorer Nathalie Lasselin and her crew cleaning the river. While she’s explored the Arctic and underwater caves in China, she felt drawn back to the waters of her home – Montreal. Flying alongside the St. Lawrence River are bald eagles, osprey, and black terns while muskrats, porcupines, and beavers scamper along the shore. If you dive beneath the fresh waters of the river though, you’ll see an ecosystem of smallmouth bass and freshwater gobies, nestled between chunks of rock reefs.

River of Angels
______
Conserving LA River
Overview
“When you’re standing on the LA River, it’s like fishing in any river,” says Lino Jubilado, an LA River fly fisherman. “You’ve got duck swimming around you; you’ve got geese guarding their nests. You can easily mask out all the sound from all the traffic of the freeways and the overpasses.” Jubilado has been fishing the LA River for over 40 years. Early in the morning, he makes himself a cup of coffee, sits down, and ties flies. Then, he goes to the river.

Early in the morning, he makes himself a cup of coffee, sits down, and ties flies. Then, he goes to the river.
“Up and down the river, there are natural sections that are just loaded with carp,” says Jubilado. These carp have many nicknames – sewer salmon, gutter grouper, Tijuana trout – but to him, they’re golden nuggets. While many people think of the river as a sewer, Jubilado and other fly fishermen see the beauty in it. Hear from Jubilado and others in the film “River of Angels” below.
