Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. And we optimistically cling to a narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing.

This book was written to help fill the gap with what is currently happening, why it is happening, and what needs to happen to get the planet's cycles back to a point of sustainability. There are many books on the topic of climate change and global warming, but many of them have been focused on the doom and gloom of what is happening and going to happen if changes aren't made; this book touches on that slightly, but its main goal is to provide a road map on how to recover in a pragmatic way, providing simple solutions and avoiding extreme suggestions.

Drones are revolutionizing ocean conservation. By flying closer and seeing more, drones enhance intimate contact between ocean scientists and activists and marine life. In the process, new dependencies between nature, technology, and humans emerge, and a paradox becomes apparent: Can we have a wild ocean whose survival is reliant upon technology? In Oceaning, Adam Fish answers this question through eight stories of piloting drones to stop the killing of porpoises, sharks, and seabirds and to check the vitality of whales, seals, turtles, and coral reefs.
