Dames Who Read - March 21 at 7PM

Dames Who Read: Salmon: A Fish, the Earth, and the History of Their Common Fate, by Mark Kurlansky. Most of what we do on land ends up impacting the ocean, but never is that clearer than when we look at salmon. Centuries of our greatest assaults on nature, from overfishing to dams, from hatcheries to fish farms, from industrial pollution to the ravages of climate change, can be seen in their harrowing yet awe-inspiring life cycle. Mark Kurlansky lays bare our misdirected attempts to manipulate salmon for our own benefit. Now, the only way to save salmon is to save the planet, and the only way to save the planet may be to save the salmon. Eileen Dykes will moderate the discussion.  Tuesday, March 21, 7 to 8:30 p.m. Zoom link to come.
