Summary:
"An exploration of the earth's last wild frontier, filled with high-stakes
stories
of people and places facing an uncertain future. On a life raft in the Mediterranean, a teenager from Ghana wonders whether he will reach Europe alive, and whether he will be allowed to stay. In the North Atlantic, a young chef disappears from a cruise ship, leaving a mystery for his friends and family to solve. A water-squatting community battles eviction from a harbour in British Columbia, raising the question of who owns the water. The
Imperilled
Ocean
by Laura Trethewey is a deeply reported work of narrative journalism that follows people as they head out to
sea
. What they discover holds inspiring and dire implications for the life of the
ocean
- and for all of us back on land. Battles are fought, fortunes made, lives lost, and the
ocean
approaches an uncertain future. Behind this
human
drama, the
ocean
is growing ever more unstable, threatening to upend life on land."
