The primary purpose of this book is to identify, describe, and highlight the successes of fishery professionals in restoration of fish populations that had moved from vibrant fisheries to the brink of extinction. The decline of populations was due to a variety of reasons, principally linked to overfishing and habitat destruction caused by anthropogenic changes to land and waterscapes.
