| Silver Swimmer is the dramatic chronicle of the monumental
struggle to conserve and restore the great Atlantic salmon during
the last half of the twentieth century. It is written
by the person who led the campaigns and who has
been called (by Marshall Field) the man who "knows more
about Atlantic salmon from a conservation point of view than
anyone alive today." Silver Swimmer vividly describes the life cycle
of this great game fish, its overexploitation by the Danes
and Norwegians by drift netting on the high seas, and
then the delicate, difficult efforts - led by the United
States through international diplomacy - to face the threat of
"The Salmon War." Buck - in what becomes the first
historical narrative of these events - describes the founding of
the Committee on the Atlantic Salmon Emergency (CASE), its successor,
Restoration of the Atlantic Salmon in America (RASA), the development
of the seminal high-seas treaty salmon aquaculture (and its environmental
significance), and the future of the wild salmon. This is
a fascinating, pathbreaking book, sure to be of major interest
to all conservationists and sportsmen.
