Book Description
Return to the River will describe a new ecosystem-based approach to the restoration of salmon and steelhead populations in the Columbia River, once one of the most productive river basins for anadromous salmonids on the west coast of North America. The approach of this work has broad applicability to all recovery efforts throughout the northern hemisphere and general applicability to fisheries and aquatic restoration efforts throughout the world. The Pacific Northwest is now embroiled in a major public policy debate over the management and restoration of Pacific salmon. The outcome of the debate has the potential to affect major segments of the region's economy - river transportation, hydroelectric production, irrigated agriculture, urban growth, commercial and sport fisheries, etc. This debate, centered as it is on the salmon in all the rivers, has created a huge demand for information. The book will be a powerful addition to that debate. - A 15 year collaboration by a diverse group of scientists working on the management and recovery of salmon, steelhead trout, and wildlife populations in the Pacific Northwest - Includes over 200 figures, with four-color throughout the book - Discusses complex issues such as habitat degradation, juvenile survival through the hydrosystem, the role of artificial production, and harvest reform

Book Description
America's rivers are the heart of rich and vital riparian ecosystems, home to unique communities of plants and animals. Aesthetically pleasing as well as a crucial food source for wildlife, these habitats are slowly being destroyed in our eagerness to harness natural resources. Biological diversity -- the key to ecological stability -- is threatened by a range of developmental projects, including efforts to dam and channel waterflow, to convert flood-prone land to agriculture, to harvest timber, and to undertake oil and gas exploration. Down by the River explores these problems and their impact on an ecosystem that is often ignored or neglected.
