THE EMPTY OCEAN
by Richard Ellis
The story of our continued plunder of life in the sea and the chances for its recovery, with fascinating portraits of a wide array of creatures. An introduction to the many forms of sea life that humans have fished, hunted, and collected over the centuries, from charismatic whales and dolphins to the lowly menhaden, from sea turtles to cod, tuna, and coral.
From codfish to tuna, and sea turtles to seals, entire populations of marine creatures are being driven to the brink of extinctions. In this alarming, yet hopeful book, acclaimed author and artist Richard Ellis ventures from the depths of the Chesapeake Bay to the bustling aisles of Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market and beyond to reveal the way the hunting, fishing and collecting of acquatic animals is rapidly emptying the ocean of its inhabitants.
