Fish versus Power is an environmental history of the Fraser River
(British Columbia) and the attempts to dam it for power and to
defend it for salmon. Amid contemporary debates over large dam
development and declines in fisheries, this book offers a case
study of a river basin where development decisions did not
ultimately dam the river, but rather conserved its salmon. Although
the case is local, its implications are global as Evenden explores
the transnational forces that shaped the river, the changing
knowledge and practices of science, and the role of environmental
change in shaping environmental debate. The Fraser is the world's
most productive salmon river; it is also a large river with
enormous waterpower potential. Very few rivers in the developed
world have remained undammed. On the Fraser, however, fish - not
dams - triumphed, and this book seeks to explain why.
