Description
Book SynopsisBeginning late in the nineteenth century and culminating in the 1985 Pacific Salmon Treaty, Canada and the United States carried out long and contentious negotiations to provide a framework for cooperation for conserving and sharing the vitally important Pacific salmon resource. This book traces provides an insider's perspective on the tumultuous negotiations.
Trade Review"Both authors have been deeply immersed in Canada's management of its salmon resources and conflicts with US fisheries. The treatment of the subject is nicely balanced and even-handed... This masterful account is likely to be the definitive work, given its combination of breadth and depth with the added value of a balanced insider's view." - Edward L. Miles, Professor, School of Marine Affairs, University of Washington"
