Mr. Mensik has worked to save fish for almost two decades. In this book, he presents the “cause and effect” of Columbia and Snake River salmon population declines, information that is unspoken within the politicals of fish. The author presents management practices and habitat changes that have negatively impacted salmon populations, identifying how these declines can be curtailed.

Book Details
“Knowledge of the past and present quantity and quality of anadromous fish habitat in the Columbia River Basin is essential to any effort to enhance fish populations. Habitat condition is a key element in monitoring and evaluating progress towards the doubling goal. Integration of this information into the Columbia River Fish and Wildlife Plan can provide the baseline information to greatly enhance understanding of past, present, and future habitat conditions in the basin to provide for improved management decisions” (Summary Report for Bureau of Fisheries Stream Habitat Surveys: Clearwater, Salmon, Weiser, and Payette River Basins, 1934–1942).
