I received a free copy of this title from Greystone Books. Thank you Greystone and the author!
“The High Seas” by Olive Heffernan is a wonderfully informative dive into the complexities of the high seas and conservation for this incredible part of the planet.
The book expertly delves into issues such as mesopelagic fisheries, deep sea mining, climate intervention efforts, pollution, and climate change. The author does a fantastic job connecting each issue together, highlighting the circumstances of the threats, and related policies to better understand the issues of management of the high seas.
“The High Seas” ends with a resounding call to action, urging readers to advocate for meaningful ocean protection measures through systemic change. Voting is a huge aspect of environmental protection measures.
If you are interested in marine biology, fisheries, environmental science, climate change, or environmental policy, I highly recommend you pick this up! And even if you aren’t interested in those specific topics but want dive into the complex world of conservation, give this book a read!
