 | A Common Fate: Endangered Salmon...
This book explores the relationship between people and salmon in the Northwest and the heroism of the scientists who fight to preserve a future for the salmon on the Columbia River.
In the past, over 12 million wild salmon returned each year to the Columbia Basin to spawn. Born in fresh water, Salmon fight their way to the sea as adolescents. After six years they return to the river of their origin to spawn. But the Columbia River has changed a great deal during this century, and the future of the wild salmon is uncertain. The dams which supply inexpensive electricity to the Northwest and the clear-cutting of timber companies have reduced the salmon population greatly. The 12 million returning salmon have been reduced to 2 million and that figure is falling. This book explores the relationship between people and salmon in the Northwest and the heroism of the scientists who fight to preserve a future for the salmon on the Columbia River.
