CONTINUING STUDIES IN SCIENCE
“One of my strongest
interests and concerns
has long been the Pacific
salmon runs, not for their
commercial value or their
value in the sport fishery
only, but because of
their innate and complex
beauty and their symbolic
value as the last great abundance of the North
American continent. This last in itself is an
emotional value, though it involves or should
involve something more than that—the self
respect and legitimacy of mankind itself. If,
with the knowledge and understanding we
now have, we allow this to be destroyed, we
ourselves are nothing very important.”
