On My Nightstand: The World Is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean's Are One

Sylvia Earle's The World Is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean's Are One recounts her experiences and observations about the ocean ecology after diving around the world, and how we've used and abused the world's oceans in the past century. While many consider the ocean's ability to rebound is endless, continued overfishing and pollution will lead to irreparable harm.

With the planet covered in mostly water, that pollution and overfishing is starting to add up - and the consequences are significant. Better conservation is needed to protect this most precious natural resource.
