GREENPEACE NORTH SEA by Hook Patrick
The North Sea's shallow waters and varied coastlines provide ideal habitats for an enormous diversity of creatures, but its wildlife faces the threat of destruction on an increasingly massive scale. The fight to save the North Sea, and the life within it, is one of Greenpeace's longest-running campaigns. More than a decade of field and laboratory research, of direct actions against those responsible for the damage inflicted on the sea and of lobbying governments and industries throughout the eight North Sea states has given Greenpeace considerable expertise in the area. This fund of knowledge and experience forms the basis of this book to present a holistic view of the ecology of the North Sea. The book's principal sections cover the North Sea's natural state of abundance, the threat to its resources and the politics that govern it. A separate section sets out Greenpeace's perspective on the fundamental issues involved, and the photography highlights the extraordinary variety of forms that nature takes in the North Sea and documents the abuse it has suffered. The author is a zoologist and environmental consultant who was Greenpeace's Science and Policy Advisor at the 1990 North Sea Ministers' Conference.| SKU | Unavailable |
