Salmon Without Rivers: A History of the Pacific Salmon Crisis: Fisheries biologist Jim Lichatowich offers an eye-opening look at the roots and evolution of the salmon crisis in the Pacific Northwest. He describes the multitude of factors that have let to the salmon's decline, including the failure of restoration efforts that have relied on hatcheries to restore salmon stocks to healthy levels. Salmon Without Rivers clearly explains the difficult choices facing the citizens of the Pacific Northwest and provides unique insight into one of the most tragic chapters in our nation's environmental history.

“ The decline of salmon in the Pacific Northwest, much noted in recent decades, in fact goes back 150 years to the first settlement of this area by modern Americans. Agriculture and forestry disturbed long-stable habitats. Sketching the complex requirements of the salmon's lifestyle and the varied influences of industry and urban growth, Lichatowich explains why it is easier to understand the failure of attempts to safeguard the salmon than to come up with workable solutions.”
