    About this ebook

    We're all connected to the ocean, and the ocean to us. The ocean provides half the oxygen we breathe; it feeds us, creates our weather and provides us with water. But we haven't been as kind to the ocean in return. The problems are many: pollution, overfishing, rising seas and acid waters. What can be done? Don't despair; take action. Dive In! explores our intimate connection with the ocean and provides every reader with an achievable set of actions that can help improve ocean health for our sake and the sake of the millions of marine plants and animals that share the planet with us. Filled with colorful photos and positive stories, Dive In! is as informative as it is inspirational.

    • 4/5
      Dive In! by Ann Eriksson, is a middle-grade book all about the ocean, how it affects humans, and how we affect the ocean. Young readers can learn all about ocean conservation and why it is so important. There are suggested ways that kids could start today in helping protect the environment. I read this with my cubs and they all enjoyed it. My only qualm, as is the case with anything involving global warming, is the lack of mention that global warming and cooling are normal. Not just on a small scale either, but cycles encompassing thousands and thousands of years. Our ancestors went through a global cooling, then a global warming, with the last Ice Age, and the end of that Ice Age. Go further back and you'll find warming periods with almost no ice caps or glaciers. Yes, humans need to be responsible custodians of the planet, but we need not bear the full brunt of blame for the current warming cycle. Anyhoo…. Recommended for classroom reading or for the youngster with a love for the ocean or interest in environmental responsibility.***Many thanks to the Netgalley and Orca Book Publishers for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
