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.
