The Frail Ocean : A Blueprint for Change in the New Millennium by Wesley Marx

First published in 1967, The Frail Ocean won the Phelan Award for non-fiction. Admirably without scare tactics or fear-mongering, Wesley Marx explores the relationship between humans and the oceans, and provides recommendations for change. Now updated, expanded and redesigned, The Frail Ocean: A Blueprint for Change in the New Millennium is a must-read for all citizens of this watery planet. Major subjects are revisited to provide updates and a current perspective, and there is a new chapter on the increasingly pervasive high-speed vessels. New sidebars and tables, replete with commentaries and up-to-date information, appear throughout the book along with 46 photos taken by the author. Find out which strategies are working and which are not--by exploring past successes and failures, The Frail Ocean provides both inspiration and realistic ways for us all to become effective advocates for our greatest natural resource. Wesley Marx continues to draw on his knowledge of nature, science, history, and law to give his readers an ultimately hopeful prescription for the future. This 2000 Hartley & Marks Paperback is in good condition. Heavy.
