“Salmon Wars is a deep dive into the damage caused by current fish-farming methods to ocean environments, wild fish and their habitats, and the farmed fish themselves. It is also an account of the dismal failure of governments to stop such practices. Salmon farming needs reform. Until it gets it, read this book.”

--MARION NESTLE, author of What to Eat

“We have been growing crops unsustainably on the land for at least 100 years. Now we are making the same mistakes with agriculture in our oceans. The criminal multi-national fishing corporations and their complicit politicians are actively harming the marine environment and pushing their toxic product to unaware consumers. After reading Salmon Wars I doubt you will choose to eat net pen farmed salmon again.”

--YVON CHOUINARD, founder of Patagonia 

“Frantz and Collins pierce the pastoral facade of Big Salmon and show what’s really happening under the water.”

--BILL TAYLOR, President, Atlantic Salmon Federation

“Salmon Wars will open your eyes to cruelty that parallels puppy mills and all the things we, as Americans, stand against.”

--ALLEN RICCA, coauthor of Catching Hell

 “Impressively researched and absorbingly written, Salmon Wars will compel you to think again about the fish you love to eat so often for dinner. Two highly accomplished investigative reporters dig deep into the global industry behind ocean-farmed salmon, laying bare its environmental dangers, dubious health claims and dismaying success at obstructing effective regulation. Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins make a powerful case that there are far better options than the ocean cages that supply North Americans with most of their Atlantic salmon.”

--MARTIN BARON, former editor of The Washington Post
