Ocean journalist Laura Trethewey will discuss and sign her new book, The Imperiled Ocean: Human Stories from a Changing Sea. The Imperiled Ocean is a deeply reported work of narrative journalism that follows people as they head out to sea. What they discover holds inspiring and dire implications for the life of the ocean — and for all of us back on land. As battles are fought, fortunes made, lives lost, the ocean approaches an uncertain future, growing ever more unstable, threatening to upend life on land. Laura Trethewey is an ocean journalist and the senior writer and editor at Ocean.org, a multi-media story-telling site run by the Vancouver Aquarium. She has been published in Smithsonian Magazine, Courier International, The Walrus, The Globe and Mail, Hakai Magazine, and Canadian Geographic. She lives in San Diego and this is her first book.
