Vanishing Fish
«
"Daniel Pauly is a friend whose work has inspired me for years. This new book of his—despite its forbidding title—is optimistic, because it shows that we know how we could make our fisheries sustainable, and save ocean biodiversity."
—Ted Danson, actor, ocean activist, and co-author of Oceana"Marine biologist Daniel Pauly coined the term ‘shifting baselines’ to describe perceptions of environmental degradation: what is viewed as pristine today would strike our ancestors as damaged. In these trenchant essays, Pauly trains that lens on fisheries, revealing a global ‘aquacalypse.’"
—Nature"A dive into Vanishing Fish is a chilling reality check. But it shows us how to push our heads above water."
—Globe & Mail"Vanishing Fish is an eloquent call to do a better job of caring for and protecting the Earth’s resources."
—Foreword Reviews“Pauly’s insights into global fisheries provide an understanding of the root causes of our unsustainable ocean fishery and are an essential guide to sustain this vital resource.”
—David Suzuki"Over the years, studying the issues he lays out here in Vanishing Fish, Daniel Pauly has always been someone I turned to—consistently interesting and insightful."
—Mark Kurlansky, journalist and author of The Last Fish Tale and World Without Fish“Like Rachel Carson, who heroically awakened us to the dangers of DDT, Daniel Pauly almost single-handedly led the charge to expose the fallacies, scientific hairsplitting, and corruption that was the handmaiden of the precipitous global decline of marine fisheries. This wonderfully personal and accessible book by the world’s greatest living fisheries biologist summarizes and expands on the causes of collapse and the essential actions that will be required to rebuild fish stocks for future generations.”
