Her account of that fight is both inspiring in its own right and a roadmap of resistance.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlexandra Morton came north from California in the early 1980s, following her first love--the northern resident orca. Then, in 1989, industrial aquaculture moved into the region, chasing the whales away. Soon Alex had shifted her scientific focus to documenting the infectious diseases and parasites that pour from the ocean farm pens of Atlantic salmon into the migration routes of wild Pacific salmon, and then to proving their disastrous impact on wild salmon and the entire ecosystem of the coast. \u003cbr\u003e Alex stood against the farms, first representing her community, then alone, and at last as part of an uprising in which ancient Indigenous governance resisted a province and a country that wouldn't obey their own court rulings. She has used her science, many acts of protest and the legal system in her unrelenting efforts to save wild salmon and ultimately the whales--a story that reveals her own perseverance and bravery, but also shines a bright light on the ways other humans doggedly resist the truth. Here, she brilliantly calls those humans to account for the sake of us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Morton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0735279683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780735279681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Books Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Alexandra Morton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070793216255,"sku":"9780735279681","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfaa2d18-ef22-46a0-8e06-d244a0afe575.jpg?v=1685432362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-on-my-watch-alexandra-morton-9780735279681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
