U.S. Department of the Interior Conservation Bulletin 37: Fish and Shellfish of the South Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, 1944
01
Artifact Overview
During World War II, Rachel Carson wrote four U.S. Department of Interior bulletins about fish as a food source. These bulletins helped readers identify local fish and find them in markets. Writing these bulletins added a persuasive tone to Carson's future nature literature. Her 1962 book Silent Spring, describing threats to nature from pesticides, sparked the environmental movements of the 1960s.
