Synopsis
In this landmark call to action, Colin Woodard confronts the major environmental problem of our time: the fate of the oceans. Once thought to be limitless reservoirs constantly renewing themselves, the oceans are in fact bounded seas that lie within our power to kill-and as Woodard convincingly shows, we are killing them, through pollution, harmful fishing practices, ignorance, and global warming.

A comprehensive, eyewitness view of how and why the oceans are in trouble, Woodard's book covers all the aspects of this complex subject-not just the collapse of the fisheries but also the deaths of coral reefs, the effects of sea-level rise, and the creation (through pollution) of massive dead zones, including the entire Black Sea and much of the Gulf of Mexico.
