Sea Sick – University of Victoria

Alanna Mitchel is author of the first comprehensive book on the health of the world’s oceans, “Sea Sick”. This highly acclaimed book is a chronicle of Mitchell’s journey to visit leading scientists in nine of the global ocean’s hotspots to see firsthand what is really happening around the world. Whether it’s the impact of coral reef bleaching, the puzzle of the oxygen-less dead zones such as the one in the Gulf of Mexico, or the shocking implications of the changing Ph balance of the sea, Mitchell explains the science behind the story to create an engaging, accessible yet authoritative account. “Each chapter in the book blends lucid, factual explanation of complex subjects with engaging chronicles of the author’s travels to far-flung parts of the globe.” Quill & Quire “A strong examination of degraded global ocean health based on years of research with top world scientists.” The Vancouver Province
