From Publishers Weekly
The efforts of professional and volunteer environmental groups to save the salmon populations are chronicled here by Cone, a staff member of the Oregon Sea Grant, a research project of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Oregon State University. Salmon numbers, the author stresses, have declined sharply owing to habitat loss and damage, inadequate passage and flows regulated by hydropower, agriculture and logging projects. Throughout 1990 and 1991, in an unprecedented public forum, federal and state agencies, utilities and environmental groups met in Portland, Ore., to formulate a program. Among the movers and shakers in organizing the meetings were Gordon Reeves (Forest Service), Willa Nehlsen (Northwest Power Planning Council) and Bill Bakke (Oregon Natural Resources Council). Publication of Pacific Salmon at the Crossroads by the American Fishers Association, a study that grew out of these meetings, has helped influence public discussion, according to Cone, but the forum's report to President Clinton failed to spur Congress to allocate funds to implement the group's proposals. This forceful book could have an impact.

From Library Journal
Pacific salmon are born in a river or stream, swim out to the open ocean where they may live for up to six years, and then as adults leap up rivers and waterfalls to return to their natal streams to mate and spawn. The subtle relationship between salmon and their habitats, which makes this migration possible, has been gradually degraded as a result of logging, the construction of dams, and water pollution. Cone, a science journalist and author of Fire Under the Sea (LJ 7/1/91), recounts the battles between ecologists, biologists, and conservation-minded lawyers and the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management over the protection of the dwindling salmon population. Detailed descriptions of coho salmon spawning surveys, a historical account of the 19th-century fur trade, the development of the salmon canning industry, and a discussion of traditional Indian hunting and fishing customs are interspersed with biographical material on several activist scientists. For specialized collections in fisheries, public policy, and local history of the Northwest. (Photos not seen.)-Judith B. Barnett, Pell Marine Science Lib., Univ. of Rhode Island, Kingston
