Striper Wars: An American Fish Story
Striper Wars: An American Fish Story
by Dick Russell

Striper Wars: An American Fish Story, by Dick Russell. 368 pages. Island Press; 1 edition (February 10, 2006) 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.

In one of nature'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 Russell's inspiring account offers fundamental lessons about the power of civic action and the necessity of a holistic approach to conservation.
