'Steve Andrews understands that the key to defending and protecting life
and diversity in the Ocean is to use what you are good at to find
solutions to seemingly impossible problems. The strength of an
eco-system depends upon diversity and interdependence. Therefore a
successful movement is defined by diversity and interdependence within
it. By harnessing our passions to the virtues of courage and imagination
we can find impossible solutions to seemingly impossible problems.
Saving Mother Ocean is inspiring, informative and a call to action by
all of us to save the Mother to all of us - the Ocean.' Captain Paul
Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation SocietyWe've all seen
the news of dead and dying whales, and the alarming amounts of plastic
pollution washing up on beaches or floating on the tides. The oceans are
in very great danger for many reasons, and it is not just plastic waste,
which is bad enough. Overfishing, acidification, coral bleaching,
nuclear waste, seabed mining, military testing, and climate change, are
taking a very heavy toll on marine creatures of all types, from tiny
plankton to the massive whales. The eponymous Dead Zones are aptly
named. Many marine creatures are in danger of extinction. Life on this
planet depends on healthy oceans. We depend on healthy oceans. This book
takes a look at the threats to marine life, and what is being done to
save the seas. It is a call to action to save Mother Ocean. The author
explains how he became personally motivated to do what he could. As a
singer and songwriter he wrote songs and came up with the idea for Ocean
Aid concerts. Now he has written the book you are holding. He hopes to
inspire you to think about what you can do. We all need to help save the
seas.
