Stain Upon the Sea: West Coast Salmon Farming

An excellent if sad synopsis of the devastating toll salmon farming is wreaking on wild trout and salmon populations around the world. A Stain Upon the Sea is a fascinating microcosm of the battle being waged between environmental and economic interests to the detriment of our planet, future and most of the world's species. These essays are written by intelligent, thoughtful people fighting to protect our native salmon runs against the short-sighted self-interest of the aquaculture industry, whose spin would have you believe salmon farming is a clean, environmentally friendly solution to depleted natural salmon runs and an ever more hungry world. Don't believe it for a minute! If you're looking for clarity on the salmon farming issue this book's for you.
