Meet Mark Kurlansky, author of WORLD WITHOUT FISH!

Imagine a planet with orange oceans, toxic seawater, and marine life that consists almost solely of jellyfish. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s actually a realistic projection of what our world will become if we don’t move now to save the ocean’s fish from extinction. Thankfully, we CAN prevent this from happening if we take action immediately!

Mark Kurlansky will discuss the problems facing marine life and their solutions when he tours for his new book, WORLD WITHOUT FISH. A concise summary packaged within a fascinating narrative that reads like fiction, WORLD WITHOUT FISH connects all the dots—biology, economics, evolution, politics, climate, history, culture, food and nutrition—creating a presentation that is equally appealing to children and adults who want an overview of the circumstances facing our oceans.

Kurlansky ultimately imbues this grave subject with an empowering, optimistic message: there is still time to save the marine environment if we act now. He includes a wealth of tips and guidelines to help us get started. As Mark reminds readers, “Saving the planet takes a lot of work. But what could be more worthwhile?”
