The disturbing incident, which was captured on video, went viral, leading to corporate straw bans around the world. In this evocative book, the marine biologist behind the camera, Christine Figgener, recounts her own life spent studying and protecting sea turtles. Figgener describes patrolling the beach at night, swimming with turtles in the open ocean, watching tiny turtles emerge from sandy nests, and risking her life during tropical storms. We learn about her experience as a woman in conservation, a male dominated space where she struggles to be taken seriously. Through discovering the fascinating science of sea turtles and the threats they face today, readers will be inspired to live their own lives differently to ensure the survival of these magnificent creatures."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 578.77092 Figgener Fi in Processing Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 578.77092 Figgener Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Acquisitions, BST   in Processing Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 578.77092 Figgener in Processing Add Copy to MyList Kahului Public Library Adult Nonfiction 578.77092 Figgener Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 578.77092 Figgener Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books 578.77092 Figgener Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Biography B Figgener Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
