The world's oceans face multiple threats: the effects of climate
change, pollution, overfishing, plastic waste, and more. Confronted
with the immensity of these challenges and of the oceans
themselves, we might wonder what more can be done to stop their
decline and better protect the sea and marine life. Such widespread
environmental threats call for a simple but significant shift in
reasoning to bring about long-overdue, elemental change in the way
we use ocean resources. In Future Sea, ocean advocate and
marine-policy researcher Deborah Rowan Wright provides the tools
for that shift. Questioning the underlying philosophy of
established ocean conservation approaches, Rowan Wright lays out a
radical alternative: a bold and far-reaching strategy of 100
percent ocean protection that would put an end to destructive
industrial activities, better safeguard marine biodiversity, and
enable ocean wildlife to return and thrive along coasts and in seas
around the globe. Future Sea is essentially concerned with the
solutions and not the problems. Rowan Wright shines a light on
existing international laws intended to keep marine environments
safe that could underpin this new strategy. She gathers inspiring
stories of communities and countries using ocean resources wisely,
as well as of successful conservation projects, to build up a
cautiously optimistic picture of the future for our
oceans--counteracting all too prevalent reports of doom and gloom.
A passionate, sweeping, and personal account, Future Sea not only
argues for systemic change in how we manage what we do in the sea,
but also describes steps that anyone, from children to political
leaders (or indeed, any reader of the book), can take toward
safeguarding the oceans and their extraordinary wildlife.
