Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity can make short work of the oceans’ creatures. In 1741, hungry explorers discovered herds of Steller’s sea cow in the Bering Strait, and in less than thirty years, the amiable beast had been harpooned into extinction. It’s a classic story, but a key fact is often omitted. Bering Island was the last redoubt of a species that had been decimated by hunting and habitat loss years before the explorers set sail. As Callum M. Roberts reveals in The Unnatural History of the Sea, the oceans’ bounty didn’t disappear overnight. While today’s fishing industry is ruthlessly efficient, intense exploitation began not in the modern era, or even with the dawn of industrialization, but in the eleventh century in medieval Europe. Roberts explores this long and colorful history of commercial fishing, taking readers around the world and through the centuries to witness the transformation of the seas. Drawing on firsthand accounts of early explorers, pirates, merchants, fishers, and travelers, the book recreates the oceans of the past: waters teeming with whales, sea lions, sea otters, turtles, and giant fish. The abundance of marine life described by fifteenth century seafarers is almost unimaginable today, but Roberts both brings it alive and artfully traces its depletion. Collapsing fisheries, he shows, are simply the latest chapter in a long history of unfettered commercialization of the seas. The story does not end with an empty ocean. Instead, Roberts describes how we might restore the splendor and prosperity of the seas through smarter management of our resources and some simple restraint. From the coasts of Florida to New Zealand, marine reserves have fostered spectacular recovery of plants and animals to levels not seen in a century. They prove that history need not repeat itself: we can leave the oceans richer than we found them.
Download or read book The Sea and the Rod written by C. T. Paske and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-20 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sea and the Rod: An Exhaustive Account of the Habitat and Peculiarities of the Chief Species of British Sea-Fish That Are to Be Taken With Rod and Line; With Chapters on the Literature of Sea-Fishing and Sport in Other Seas Than Our Own, Etc., Etc The Preface is in any case that portion of a book, the execution of which involves the greatest amount of trouble; and this dimculty, which for authors in general is not one whit diminished by the fact that few ever think of reading this particular result of their labours, is in my own case increased by my being called upon to introduce a book of which I am only part-writer. As my friend has generously waived his rights by permitting me to compose our joint-preface unaided, I may perhaps be pardoned if I leave this unpretending little book to speak for itself, making my present remarks brief as the lightning in the collied night! It will, I hope, be seen that some attempt has been made to make the book in some measure interesting to the general reader; and that the tanks of fish have method in their madness, inasmuch as they are intended to portray the habitat and surroundings of their inmates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Salt-Water Fishes The study of life in the seas has a practical bearing on British industrial supremacy that cannot perhaps be claimed for any other branch of zoology, for the arts of the stock-breeder and poultry-farmer have long since passed out of the domain of the laboratory into that of technical education. In our sea-fisheries, however, we have a great industry, already marvellously developed during the past fifty years, and capable, with proper care, of yet further growth and improvement in the near future. More and more is the administration of this industry dependent on the researches of the marine laboratory. The causes which lead to fluctuations in the supply by prompting irregular and hitherto immeasurable migrations of important fishes from one coast to another; the meaning of "over-fishing" and the nature of the measures necessary for its control; the difficulty in obtaining bait, - these and other problems it is the business of the marine biologist to solve. This, the fifth volume of the "Woburn Library," makes no pretence to throw any new light on these matters. All that has been attempted is to summarise the habits and appearance, the distribution and the migrations of every fish yet described as "British." Even before it is in the hands of the public there may be new species in the British list, for only while the last sheets were passing through the press our gobies were enriched by the discovery in Cornwall of a species larger than any hitherto admitted as belonging to this country.
