Ocean Country

One Woman's Voyage from Peril to Hope in her Quest To Save the Seas

By: Liz Cunningham, Carl Safina - introduction

Narrated by: Ellen Jaffe

Ocean Countryis an adventure story, a call to action, and a poetic meditation on the state of the seas. But most importantly it is the story of finding true hope in the midst of one of the greatest crises to face humankind, the rapidly degrading state of our environment. After a near-drowning accident in which she was temporarily paralyzed, Liz Cunningham crisscrosses the globe in an effort to understand the threats to our dazzling but endangered oceans. This intimate account charts her thrilling journey through unexpected encounters with conservationists, fishermen, sea nomads, and scientists in the Mediterranean, Sulawesi, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Papua, New Guinea.

"Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up" An engaging page turner! I feel like a kid again.

Boring, confused, disappointing.

Had high hopes after her first book. But there is nothing like that here. It is a bunch of thoughts about nature, animals etc without a story. I wouldn’t call it a book.
