Ocean protection through knowledge and action

Mark Leiren-Young connects the climate crisis to marine life, from whales to plankton, and explains practical approaches to keeping the ocean clean. The book also turns toward community involvement, presenting ways to engage politically and profiles of young activists, including Ta’Kaiya Blaney of the Tla’amin Nation and Finlay Pringle, whose campaign opposed sewage dumping near his home in Scotland. Its seven-part framing links environmental information with concrete steps, while the idea that all oceans connect gives the subject a shared, global scope.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in ocean life and environmental issues
  • Young readers curious about climate change and practical conservation actions
  • Readers interested in youth activism and community involvement

Book overview

About seventy percent of our planet is ocean, and over 250,000 species call it home. But most of the animals who live in it--from the biggest whales to the smallest plankton--are being affected by the climate crisis.

In One Ocean, learn about practical ways to keep the ocean clean, the effects of the climate crisis, how to get political in your community and how small actions can have a big impact. Meet young activists and discover what inspires them, including Ta'Kaiya Blaney, a singer-songwriter and actor from the Tla'amin Nation, and Finlay Pringle, who fought to stop raw sewage from being dumped in the ocean near his home in Scotland. Come away with actionable steps to take because protecting the ocean is up to us. And, since all oceans connect, there is really only one ocean for all.

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
