Description
The High Seas Ambition, Power and Greed on the Unclaimed Ocean The world's oceans are a shared resource, yet the high seas remain a domain of exploitation. Heffernan's book sheds light on the dark side of industrial fishing practices, deep-sea mining, and the Silicon Valley interventionists promising solutions to climate change. The author's investigation reveals a battle to control, profit from, protect, or destroy the world's largest and wildest commons. This powerful and deeply researched book calls for the protection and preservation of the high seas. Heffernan's work is a testament to the need for greater awareness and action to safeguard this final frontier. With its focus on the environmental and economic implications of human activity, the book is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of our relationship with the ocean.
