Striper Wars: An American Fish Story

Striper Wars: An American Fish Story
- Used Book in Good Condition
When commercial overfishing sent striped bass

populations into free fall in the 1980s, Dick Russell

emerged as a key spokesman in a long-shot crusade

by dedicated fishermen to save them. Striper Wars is

Russellâ€™s vibrant account of their thrilling, yet tenuous

victory, complete with heroes and villains. In one

of natureâ€™s great comebacks, groundbreaking moratoriums

allowed the striper population to rebound

more than tenfold. Yet today, the striper faces new

threats, including a deadly bacterial disease. While

perils persist, Dick Russellâ€™s inspiring account offers fundamental lessons

about the power of civic action and the necessity of a holistic

approach to conservation.
