Requests:  0 Summary:  "Marine scientist Michael J. Moore says we are all whalers, but we don't have to be. Eating fish leads to North Atlantic right whales' entanglement and death. Buying goods made around the world requires global shipping routes, which do not accurately consider right whale breeding and feeding sites, leading to collision. To explain this, Moore conveys to readers scenes from over thirty years' worth of fieldwork, performing whale necropsies for animals stranded on beaches, working as an independent researcher alongside whalers using explosive harpoons, and tracking injured pregnant whales to deliver antibiotics. Despite these sometimes disturbing experiences, Moore has written a hopeful book. He uses these stories to show we can change and to tell us how; the technology for rope-less fishing and tracking whale migrations already exist to protect both right whales and the people who depend on shipping and fishing for their livelihoods"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 599.5273 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.5273 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.5273 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.5273 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 599.5273 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.5273 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 599.5273 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
