Annotation: The Black Sea is already dead. Because of sea-level rise, an entire nation in the South Pacific, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is being washed away. Throughout the Caribbean Sea, vast stretches of coral reef -- called the "rainforests of the ocean" because of their diversity of life -- are dying at increasingly rapid rates. The reefs along the entire north coast of Jamaica are dead.

Ocean's End is not about the damage our oceans could suffer (and inflict) in ten or a hundred years, if we're not careful. It's an eyewitness account, in compelling and vivid detail, of the massive world-wide destruction that's already happened.
