Description: Frequent photographs in the news of oil-coated wildlife and massive floating trash islands offer an ugly glimpse of the sort of pollution we have unleashed in Earths oceans. Young readers and budding environmentalists can dig deeper into the topic and explore some of the ways that people can prevent future pollution and clean up the messes humans have made. The included sidebars stimulate further interest in this very serious issue.
