World without Fish by Mark Kurlansky
Issues a call to action to kids ages 10 and up, by outlining what will happen within the next fifty years if the ill effects of over-fishing, pollution, and climate change aren't addressed soon. The author gives a step-by-step account of what would happen if fish became extinct - and then outlines a plan for remedying the situation.
