How we can continue to enjoy and appreciate the "ocean," yet also protect and conserve this vital resource? "Personal," sometimes "whimsical," this book addresses daily choices we make that affect the health of our oceans: what fish we should and shouldn't eat; how and where to vacation; protecting our local water table; "diving," "surfing," and tide-pool etiquette; supporting local marine "education," and more. It also looks at broader issues like protecting wetlands and saving coral reefs and what we can do.
