Ocean's End: Travels Through Endangered Seas

by Colin Woodard

Ocean's End: Travels Through Endangered Seas Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Black Sea is already dead. Because of sea-level rise, an entire nation in the South Pacific, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is being washed away. Throughout the Caribbean Sea, vast stretches of coral reef — called the "rainforests of the ocean" because of their diversity of life — are dying at increasingly rapid rates. The reefs along the entire north coast of Jamaica are dead.<P>Ocean's End is not about the damage our oceans could suffer (and inflict) in ten or a hundred years, if we're not careful. It's an eyewitness account, in compelling and vivid detail, of the massive world-wide destruction that's already happened.

Synopsis:

Woodard] successfully brings to life the fascinating mysteries of marine science [and] outlines strategies that, he contends, must be taken to save our seas.-Publishers Weekly
