Most people know Ted Danson as the affable bartender Sam Malone in
the long-running television series "Cheers." But fewer realize that
over the course of the past two and a half decades, Danson has
tirelessly devoted himself to the cause of heading off a looming
global catastrophe--the massive destruction of our planet's oceanic
biosystems and the complete collapse of the world's major
commercial fisheries.
In "Oceana," Danson details his journey from joining a modest
local protest in the mid-1980s to oppose offshore drilling near his
Southern California neighborhood to his current status as one of
the world's most influential oceanic environmental activists,
testifying before congressional committees in Washington, D.C.,
addressing the World Trade Organization in Zurich, Switzerland, and
helping to found Oceana, the largest organization in the world
focused solely on ocean conservation.
In his incisive, conversational tone, Danson describes what has
happened to our oceans in just the past half-century, ranging from
the ravages of overfishing and habitat destruction to the
devastating effects of ocean acidification and the wasteful horrors
of fish farms. Danson also shares the stage of "Oceana" with some
of the world's most respected authorities in the fields of marine
science, commercial fishing, and environmental law, as well as with
other influential activists.
In vivid, personal prose, "Oceana" powerfully illustrates the
impending crises and offers solutions that may allow us to avert
them, showing you the specific courses of action you can take to
become active, responsible stewards of our planet's most precious
resource--its oceans.
