Description

We're all connected to the ocean, and the ocean to us. The ocean provides half the oxygen we breathe; it feeds us, creates our weather and provides us with water. But we haven't been as kind to the ocean in return. The problems are many: pollution, overfishing, rising seas and acid waters. What can be done? Don't despair; take action. Dive In! explores our intimate connection with the ocean and provides every reader with an achievable set of actions that can help improve ocean health for our sake and the sake of the millions of marine plants and animals that share the planet with us. Filled with colorful photos and positive stories, Dive In! is as informative as it is inspirational.

Karen E, Reviewer

Aimed at kids, this is a great introduction to the impact we all have on the health of our oceans and sealife. As an adult, I learned a few things myself! The author shares ways we can all get involved in making our waterways healthier through our daily choices as well as volunteer opportunities and possible career paths. Throughout the text, young people are highlighted for their personal efforts in improving the health of the oceans and waterways, great inspiration for kids to get involved. We can all use a gentle reminder of the impact of our own choices.

Thank you to NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for the opportunity to read and review this informative book. All comments are my own, unbiased opinion.
