We assumed we could control the biological productivity of salmon and improve upon natural processes that we didnt even try to understand. We assumed we could have salmon without rivers. --from the introductionFrom a mountain top where an eagle carries a salmon carcass to feed its young to the distant oceanic waters of the California current and the Alaskan Gyre, salmon have penetrated the Northwest to an extent unmatched by any other animal. Since the turn of the twentieth century, the natural productivity of salmon in Oregon, Washington, California, and Idaho has declined by eighty percent. The decline of Pacific salmon to the brink of extinction is a clear sign of serious problems in the region.In Salmon Without Rivers, 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 over the past century and a half that have led to the salmons decline, and examines in depth the abject failure of restoration efforts that have focused almost exclusively on hatcheries to return salmon stocks to healthy levels without addressing the underlying causes of the decline. The book:<ul><li>describes the evolutionary history of the salmon along with the geologic history of the Pacific Northwest over the past 40 million years</li><li>considers the indigenous cultures of the region, and the emergence of salmon-based economies that survived for thousands of years</li><li>examines the rapid transformation of the region following the arrival of Europeans</li><li>presents the history of efforts to protect and restore the salmon</li><li>offers a critical assessment of why restoration efforts have failed</li></ul>Throughout, Lichatowich argues that the dominant worldview of our society -- a worldview that denies connections between humans and the natural world -- has created the conflict and controversy that characterize the recent history of salmon; unless that worldview is challenged and changed, there is little hope for recovery. Salmon Without Rivers exposes the myths that have guided recent human-salmon interactions. It clearly explains the difficult choices facing the citizens of the region, and provides unique insight into one of the most tragic chapters in our nations environmental history.(*_*)9781597268899_"Fundamentally, the salmons decline has been the consequence of a vision based on flawed assumptions and unchallenged myths....
