Description
The Last Sunset in the West Britain's Vanishing West Coast Orcas
A fully revised and updated edition of a book that serves as a wake-up call for our relationship with the marine world. Marine biologist Natalie Sanders joins a research vessel to study Britain's West Coast Community of orca, a pod that has delighted scientists and whale watchers for years. However, the impact of pollution, entanglement, military sonar, and climate change on whales and dolphins is a pressing concern.
This book takes the reader on a journey from the Western Isles of Scotland to Vancouver Island, delving into the history of our relations with these beautiful and sentient creatures. It explains what their loss means and how we can avoid similar tragedies in the future.
