What the Wild Sea Can Be

What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World’s Ocean | Helen Scales

pick

I‘ve read Scales before and liked her, so I was happy to see this in the #WPNF25 list. It shows the havoc we have and continue to wreak upon the oceans, but also gives a little hope for some of the things we‘re doing that‘s helping to slow and fix the damage. Excellent read.

squirrelbrain I‘m finding this really interesting! 2d

What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World’s Ocean | Helen Scales

pick

I can‘t imagine I‘d pick this up if not for the women‘s prize but I really liked it! I learned a lot about ocean life (past & present), how much effects ocean life like climate change and overfishing and how all of those things have an effect on the way ocean life thrives (or doesn‘t). The bit about emperor penguins though š¢ it‘s very accessible and she writes with hope but also a real sense of urgency. It will stick with me. #wpnf25

squirrelbrain I‘ve got this from the library but found it on audio too yesterday so listened to some this morning. It‘s more accessible than I expected. 4d

youneverarrived @squirrelbrain I hope you enjoy it too. The accessibility of it definitely made it more interesting to read. 2d

Bookwormjillk I enjoyed this book a lot. I‘m not sure I found it hopeful. More like there is promise of hope if we do the right thing. I thought the audiobook was very well done. You could hear the emotions in the author‘s voice. 1mo

Roary47 I really enjoyed the book also. I show a video to my classes every year called The Plastic Ocean and it has the same tone, and much of the same information. It is nice to see the change that happens to my students after they realize how much just plastic is causing on aquatic ecosystems. I think a change for the better is the aim by the tone they have. I also listened to the audio which was really nicely done @Bookwormjillk 1mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk I felt this way too. I love the ocean so much and I fear for it. The book is very well written and I think it‘s a must read. Done very well. I had a library book and I had to wait for it so that‘s encouraging. 1mo

Great pick for #Naturalitsy @AllDebooks

I loved this well researched audiobook. The author read it herself and you can hear the emotion in her voice when she talks about the ocean. I grew up near the coast in Massachusetts and this made me so homesick. Must get back to see the ocean soon.

I am finally reading this book-I grew up going to the Connecticut shores in summer like my Dad before me, while my mom was born at the shore in Saybrook CT- then we discovered Cape Cod when I was 11 & never went back-I feel strongly, almost genetically, that I am the sea & the sea is in me- it is the place where I feel totally connected & at peace with the world. #naturalitsy

julieclair I feel exactly the same! 1mo

Texreader Awww I love this. I‘m originally from Austin Texas and now live in San Antonio so always surrounded by land. It‘s hard to imagine the passion you feel. But I appreciate it as well as a beautiful view of the ocean. I remember the times I saw the Atlantic and then the Pacific for the first time. 1mo

5āØIt is well written, has a plethora of examples, and the author is obviously a leading mind in this field. I did the audiobook read by the author making an even better story. Very well done and informative. #NaturalLitsy @AllDebooks

AllDebooks @Larkken I think so š¨ It's by Max Naylor, called The Riches (2023). His IG has several close-up photos that show the incredible detail.https://www.instagram.com/p/CsIyvMNoJ57/?img_index=4&igsh=Nzh6Y29qZjI4cDlv 2mo
