 This imaginative guide to ocean plastics pollution was inspired by biologist Ana Pego’s life’s work. She collected and studied plastics along rivers, lakes, and oceans since she was a young girl. She even gave it a Latin name – Plasticus Maritimus – to warn people of the dangers to the earth. Today she is a marine biologist and award- winning artist who leads environmental education projects that combine science and art. This field guide helps readers identify and understand this new invasive species. A Table of Contents starts with the Importance of the Oceans, covers Common Plastics and Exotic Ocean Plastics, and concludes with What We Can Do and Recycling. Helpful Resources are also provided. Colorful photographs and drawings enhance this important book. mjw |
