"A hero...Moore is the first person to have pursued serious
scientific research by sampling the garbage patch."
—The New York Times
"The author is an impassioned, fiercely inquisitive writer,
detailing the many unorthodox ways he's managed to get these issues
into the news and in peer-reviewed science journals. His account is
chilling, but with an underlying message of optimism: If human
behaviors change, we can still save the oceans, and ourselves.
Fast-paced and electrifying, Moore's story is "gonzo science" at
its best."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Captain Moore set sail across the pacific and saw what others
missed, a plastic plague upon the ocean. This great new book
explains that groundbreaking discovery and how our throwaway
culture is devastating our sea life."
—Laurie David, author,
"In Plastic Ocean, readers join Captain Moore on journeys through
history, into science labs and to remote parts of the ocean -
revealing information both fascinating and incredibly important. A
must read for anyone who likes a good adventure and wants to tackle
today's pressing environmental problems."
—Annie Leonard, author and host, The Story of Stuff
"An ocean’s hero's call to action."
—Forbes.com
"Highly readable, thoughtful, honest, and determined, Plastic Ocean
is a book with staying power."
