Blue Frontier Campaign President David Helvarg’s latest ocean book, a memoir titled Saved by the Sea – A Love Story with Fish will be released by St. Martin’s Press on May 11 2010
Some comments to date:
“Helvarg offers us a glimpse not only of his own amazing and often heart-rending adventures in and around the ocean but also gives insight into the human condition…A great read from an outstanding writer.”
–Philippe Cousteau, Ocean Explorer
“Read Saved by the Sea for pleasure, read it for adventure, read it because it conveys the gift of being allowed to slip into David Helvarg’s world and view the ocean, and humankind, with profound new understanding. But beware: This book has the power to change the way you think about the world, about yourself, and the future of humankind.”
–Sylvia Earle, Ocean Explorer; Author, The World is Blue
” In this powerful story of love, loss, and resolve, Helvarg bares his heart and takes us through his life and across the oceans, letting us see that the antidote to all is simply to have something to believe in, and a cause to serve.”
–Carl Safina, Author, Song for the Blue Ocean
Blue Frontier Campaign will be sending David on a ‘Saved by the Sea’ tour this spring and summer from Boston to San Diego to Seattle and points beyond. The hope is to not only do bookstore appearances but to work with seaweed groups and organizations to stage book parties and media events that can also highlight the work they do every day to protect and restore healthy oceans and coastal communities from sea to shining sea. A dozen blue groups have partnered to date.
