Description
For decades, overfishing seemed an inevitable tragedy. Fish stocks were collapsing, coastal economies were failing, and policymakers were trapped in a cycle of ineffective bans and short-term fixes. Ocean decline felt like yet another chapter in the global tale of environmental doom.
Sea Change: Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions is the captivating, deeply human tale of what happened instead, not just at a policy level, but in the lives of the very people on the front lines of this crisis. One of them was Buddy Guindon, a Texas Gulf Coast fisherman who lived through collapse, fought against the changes meant to fix it, and ultimately became one of its most vocal champions.
Exploring a victory for the world’s most vital ecosystem, Sea Change tells the story of unlikely partnerships and surprising solutions that are quietly revolutionizing the fishing industry, demonstrating that success is possible, that the time is now, and the methods are here to conserve our natural world and the people who depend on it.
Advance Praise
"As the ocean hides what lies beneath, problems like overfishing involve a lot more than meets the eye. Are fishermen—or anyone else whose living relies on taking from nature—the problem? Or the solution? They’ve been the problem, but this book will show you how people who most rely on the sea can, must, and will be the solution. Sea Change will let you see different wave patterns."
–Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean and Alfie and Me
“As the brother of a Maine lobsterman, I’ve always been interested in how we manage the ocean to prevent the collapse of fisheries. Leland and Workman make a convincing case that empowering fishermen to work together, even as they compete, can create miracles.”
–Bill McKibben, Environmentalist and author, The End of Nature
“Sea Change reveals one of the great environmental turnarounds of our time. Through rigorous research and compelling storytelling, Leland and Workman document how communities, scientists, and policymakers are finding common cause in developing economic incentives to restore our fisheries. This book is much more than a history—it’s an exciting roadmap into the future and essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of our oceans.”
–Bruce Babbitt, U.S. Secretary of the Interior, 1993-2001
