“THE ENDGAME HAS ARRIVED

FOR THE WORLD’S OCEANS”

WARNS SCIENTIST CALLUM ROBERTS

Callum Roberts is a leading authority on the ocean environment and author of the new book The Unnatural History of the Sea, an unprecedented history of the exploitation of the ocean, its fisheries and marine life, and a look at what our future may hold. Roberts is warning governments and citizens that the, “The endgame has arrived for the world’s oceans.”

But much more than just a warning, Roberts argues for quick action to save the oceans. His provocative solution is to create marine protected areas on over 30% of the world’s oceans so that fish, mammals, and birds can flourish again, free from fishing and exploitation.

Callum Roberts is.... "the Rachel Carson of the fish world..." and "one of the most well-respected and passionate advocates of protected marine reserves..."
