Home Pool: The Fight to Save the Atlantic Salmon is that amazing series in book form. Lee's research included visits to the famous salmon river systems of New Brunswick Quebec Scotland and Iceland. In addition he faced squarely such issues as the reckless slaughter of fish the mismanagement of forests and farmlands pollution and Native fishing rights. Above all he talked to "the friends of the river" - the people determined to prevent the extinction of the Atlantic salmon. This research is the basis of Home Pool's controversial conclusion: that governments must transfer management of our rivers and watersheds to private owners conservation trusts and river communities. Only such radical reform can save the legendary salmon and its home waters a resource that the world is close to losing forever."--Page 4 of cover. Goose Lane Paperback
