The Death and Life of Monterey Bay by Stephen R Palumbi
Tells a story of life, death, and revival. This book begins in the eighteenth century when Spanish and French explorers encountered a rocky shoreline brimming with life - raucous sea birds, abundant sea otters, barking sea lions, halibut the size of wagon wheels, waters thick with whales.
"From natural paradise to environmental catastrophe and back again, the story of Monterey Bay is a compelling oneLucky then...that marine biologists Stephen R. Palumbi and Carolyn Sotka do it justice.... A gentle, considered and stirring biography of an eco-system; the book is a fitting legacy for Monterey Bay." (The Ecologist)"
Stephen R. Palumbi is the Director of the Hopkins Marine Station and the Harold A. Miller Professor of Marine Science at Stanford University. Carolyn Sotka manages science and policy outreach activities for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Oceans and Human Health Initiative.
