This book is a product of the Marine Conservation Sub-Committee, an advisory body on marine species issues within IUCN. The book features twelve stories of different ocean animals that highlight the latest issues in marine conservation. The tales in this exquisitely illustrated book are testament not only to the eccentricity of life in our oceans, but also the diversity of challenges and opportunities we face to conserve these marine marvels.

Adrift peeks under the hem of the ocean,  making very authoritative information on ocean animals highly accessible and easily understandable for anyone. You certainly  don’t need a PhD, but you’ll sound like one at your next cocktail party.”  Carl Safina,  author of Song for the Blue Ocean and other books Blue Ocean Institute

IUCN’s marine team and colleagues, comprised of specialists from across the globe, have come
together to inform and inspire the planet about marine conservation, and done so with flourish! With exquisite graphics, outstanding photographs and witty, down-to-earth stories, they have woven a canvas from which our conservation dreams, challenges and successes emerge.

‘’Adrift Tales of Ocean Fragility’’ highlights issues related to conservation of some of the most interesting and least understood creatures on earth. The authors hope that these compelling stories will inspire interest and instill concern to make the planet a better place for all.
