Сюжет кино: Ebbesmeyer tells a great story about Earth's flotsam and jetsam while serving as a role model for future oceanographers and coastal policy managers. It's a fascinating and great read.
I teach and write about coastal policy and coastal issues. None is more fascinating than the journey of "stuff" on the rivers that flow across Earth's oceans and move this stuff around, depositing some of it on the beaches, wetlands, marshes, and shorelines of the world. Ebbesmeyer is the "biographer of coastal stuff" as I call him. He wants to know where it came from and what it is.
Marine debris as it is scientifically called, is the fingerprint of the living, moving, blowing, and churning planet in which we live. Debris comes in two favors natural and human.
Natural debris includes anything that grows and floats! Dead whales and giant octopuses, cocoanuts, fascinating seed pods, shells.
Human debris, well you can guess. It's all the things that we have made which get dumped on purpose, fall overboard and float away like Nike sneakers and the now famous yellow plasticky "duckies" that Ebbesmeyer has traced for years around the world. It also includes everything that gets ripped up by its steel and concrete roots by tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons, waterspouts and tornadoes and then deposited in that huge bathtub that covers most of the Earth's surface, the oceans.
In this book you will follow the endless spiraling gyres that circulate Earths waters around the planet and why these huge virtual rivers are so important to our climate and marine life.
You will discover to much delight how a beer company used these marketing channels to distribute thousands of floating bottles of their brew as a marketing gimmick. You will also uncover mysteries of great interest and puzzles as yet un solved about humans and natural phenomena such as the giant garbage patch in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
I have always wondered about those sneakers with a foot still in them that keep wasting ashore in the Pacific Northwest. Murder? Natural deaths? A joke being played by a secret prankster society? I'm hoping Flotsametrics can help answer this and so many other mysteries on the wrack line, the area along the beach and shore where stuff accumulates as the wind and tides do their work.
When I launch the Massive Open Online Class (MOOC) on coastal policy, a free course which you will be able to take on the Internet, we will use many of Ebbesmeyer's marvelous discoveries and insights to help understand the magic and the challenges of our coastal zones. Coastal@ is my address for more information on all of this.
This book is written with style and humor but in the final analysis it is a scientific book about a fascinating force on Earth that affects beaches, fish, coral reefs, and life itself. I say it's a must read.
