how to save our oceans

A landmark, inspiring book showing that the best way to protect our seas is to stand back and let nature repair the damage, from the C o-founder of Blue Marine Foundation and one of the leading figures in marine conservation. In this indispensable follow up to his acclaimed The End of the Line: How Overfishing is Changing the World, C harles C lover chronicles how determined individuals are proving that the crisis in our oceans can be reversed, with benefits for both local communities and entire ecosystems. Rewilding the Sea celebrates what happens when we step aside and let nature repair the damage: whether it is the overfishing of bluefin tuna across the Atlantic, the destruction of coral gardens by dredgers in Lyme Bay or the restoration of oysters on the East C oast of America. The latest scientific research shows that trawling and dredging create more C O2 than the aviation industry and damage vast areas of our continental shelves, stopping them soaking up carbon. We need to fish in different ways, where we fish at all. We can store carbon and have more fish by stepping aside more often and trusting nature. Essential and revelatory, Rewilding the Sea propels us to rethink our relationship with nature and reveals that saving our oceans is easier than we think
