In this important new book on the declining health of one of
America's leading environmental treasures, Howard Ernst reveals a
Chesapeake bay that has become functionally dead. He argues that
the Chesapeake Bay succumbed to a 'light green' environmental
movement that has too often adopted a philosophy of compromise over
confrontation and that has fueling a 'political dead zone' where
political leaders posture but fail to make the hard decisions
needed to achieve real improvement in the Bay's health. While blunt
in his evaluation of past and present failures to restore the Bay,
Ernst believes that there is still time to turn the restoration
effort around and sets out new 'dark green' strategies to do so. In
the concluding chapter, five long-time bay activists provide
first-person accounts of their battles and hopes for the future.
Hailed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as 'a must read for anyone
concerned about environmental protection, ' this challenging book
provides a wake-up call for everyone concerned about the future of
the Chesapeake Bay and other ecological treasures through out
America

The Chesapeake Bay restoration effort has been touted as the
nation's premier environmental restoration program. Yet the Bay and
the living systems it supports remain in dismally poor condition,
with fisheries in decline and drinking water in danger. This book
addresses the Chesapeake Bay as a political problem and reveals how
the political process has worked against the interests of science,
the public, and environmental advocates all at once. Author Howard
Ernst shows that the forces driving environmental degradation are
sown deeply into the political soul of America, posing menacing
challenges to those fighting to restore large ecosystems like the
Chesapeake Bay. The book serves as a political roadmap for the
future, suggesting how a different course of policy action is
needed to 'Save the Bay.'
