A Blue New Deal: Why We Need a New Politics for the Ocean
An urgent account of the state of our oceans today—and what we must do to protect them
The ocean sustains life on our planet, from absorbing carbon to regulating temperatures, and, as we exhaust the resources to be found on land, it is becoming central to the global market.
