Dead Reckoning: The Crisis in Pacific Fisheries

North America's West Coast, once known for its plentiful fish population, increasingly loses fish and biodiversity as years go by, with dramatic declines in species populations and the concentration of remaining stocks into fewer populations. In Dead Reckoning, author Terry Glavin offers an honest and detailed assessment of the state of these fisheries in the context of what's happening elsewhere in the world. After introducing the players in the fisheries crisis--from fishermen to biologists to "average citizens"--Glavin suggests ways the Pacific fishery can be better managed, and offers solutions to ensure its long-term sustainability.
