Our team's visit to the Whooping Crane Festival yielded interviews with diverse attendees: George Arcibald former marine biologist for US Fish and Wildlife, , Sally Crofutt, one of the first managers of an eco-tourism program, Jace Tunnell, Director at Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve, and Tom Stehn, who played a large role in Jim Blackburn's TAP vs Shaw litigation in 2011. 
Additional man-on-the-street interviews were filmed on the Whooping Crane Boat and the whoopers themselves appeared through the fog.
