Description

Plasticus maritimus: A New Species in Our Oceans. Ana Pêgo's groundbreaking work has shed light on a pressing issue: plastic pollution in our oceans. This comprehensive guide explains why it is such an urgent contemporary problem and how we can combat it. With engaging science, colorful photographs, and a field guide to help readers identify and understand this new invasive species, Plasticus maritimus offers a critical look at our current "solutions" and proposes revolutionary changes in our habits. From the obvious (fishing nets and water bottles) to the unfamiliar (tiny, clear particles called microplastics), Pêgo shares plastic's chemical composition and physical properties. Her proposal, REVOLUTIONIZE, calls for deep changes that can be made by young and old alike to make a difference together. By understanding Plasticus maritimus, we can take steps towards sending this artificial species packing.
