Requests:  0 Summary:  "Rather than continue to focus on discrete, geographically bounded bodies of water, ocean advocate and marine-policy researcher Deborah Wright urges a Plan Sea, which reimagines the oceans as the continuous ecosystem it is, not disconnected buckets of salt and plankton. This book proposes that the global marine environment be protected under the precautionary principle. It argues that the policy framework for such protection already exists -- it just needs to be enforced. In a series of case studies, with first-person vignettes woven throughout, Wright encourages us to begin every conversation about ocean policy with the assumption that any extractive or polluting activities in the world's oceans should require special permission. Her argument invokes the Public Trust Doctrine already embedded in many constitutions, and hinges on the Law of the Sea, which was established by the U.N. in 1982 to protect the "high seas," or the remote parts of the ocean considered international waters. To some, Wright's plan may seem idealistic, but its audacity might also be seen as a welcome nudge to our collective imagination. Many scientists are convinced that ocean ecosystems are on the brink of collapse -- there's something to be said, then, for a book that's radical enough to unlock new thinking about what might be possible, and maybe necessary, in terms of their protection"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 577.7 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.7 Wright Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.7233 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 577.7233 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.7 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 577.7 Wr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
