A fascinating account of America’s oceans and ocean politics, this book takes
readers on an adventure-filled tour of America’s last great wilderness range:
its imperiled living seas. From the legacy of navy-funded ocean research and
development since World War II to the latest controviersies surrounding beach
closures, collapsing fish stocks, killer algae, hurricanes, and oil spills,
Blue Frontier explores the impact of history, commerce, and policy on marine
life-and by extension all life on earth. Helvarg also profiles the growing
number of coastal citizen-activists, local governments, and waterfront communities
working to protect and restore the seas’ health in the face of wide-open development
along our coasts and offshore. An impassioned call of sensible policies that
can sill halt the onslaught of industrial destruction, Blue Frontier is essential
reading for anyone interested in saving our maritime environment and preserving
its culture and heritage.

and Coastal Conservation Guide.
