Reviews
"A thrilling adventure tale, searing exposé, and moving memoir rolled into one. The story of Cunningham's odyssey sparkles with wit, wisdom, and excitement. Her heartrending--and heart lifting--tales eloquently capture those flashes of insight when the dots connect and new options open up. Her book also did something rare and precious: it burnished my hope for the future of our oceans." --Karen Garrison, former co-director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's Ocean Program, recipient of the "Heroes of the Sea" Peter Benchley Award "A beautifully-written memoir that shows us the ocean through Cunningham's eyes, with grief for what is lost, awe for what remains, and glimpses of future redemption." --Roz Savage, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and author of Rowing the Atlantic and Stop Drifting, Start Rowing "Wave after wave of gripping narrative--mysterious, funny, prophetic, and profound--deftly delivers knowledge crucial to our times. You can give it as a gift to friends and family, you can assign it at any classroom level in any field. You can let it teach you how to take yourself seriously enough to make a difference." --Catherine Keller, author of Cloud of the Impossible and The Face of the Deep "Cunningham has searched and found a powerful response to one of the greatest questions of our time from the deepest part of herself and expressed it with eloquence and wit and discernment, taking the reader along with her for a marvelous ride into a greater state of awareness." --Susan Murphy, author of Minding the Earth, Mending the World "A stunning account of our endangered oceans--of vanishing coral reefs, collapsing fisheries, mindless exploitation and species loss. But that is only the beginning. Time and again, Cunningham discovers threads of hope in people committed to reversing these tragedies. Taken together, these acts unlock a hitherto unimagined and hopeful revelation. You can feel it in the author's heart. You will feel it in your own." --Richard J. Borden, author of Ecology and Experience

Synopsis
Ocean Country is an adventure story, a call to action, and a poetic meditation on the state of the seas. But most importantly it is the story of finding true hope in the midst of one of the greatest crises to face humankind, the rapidly degrading state of our environment. After a near-drowning accident in which she was temporarily paralyzed, Liz Cunningham crisscrosses the globe in an effort to understand the threats to our dazzling but endangered oceans. This intimate account charts her thrilling journey through unexpected encounters with conservationists, fishermen, sea nomads, and scientists in the Mediterranean, Sulawesi, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Papua, New Guinea.
