Why read Sustaining Seas? It is as simple as this: the seas sustain all life.
This edited book emerges from conversations across several disciplines, and including practitioners of different specialities (artists, writers, planners, policy makers) about how to sustain the seas, as they sustain us.
Sustaining Seas: Oceanic space and the politics of care aims to build a better understanding of what it means to care for aquatic places and their biocultural communities.
The book is truly interdisciplinary and brings together a wide range of authors including, academics from diverse fields (architecture, science, cultural studies, law), artists, fisheries managers, and Indigenous Traditional Owners.
It provides readers with new theoretical framings, as well as grounded case studies with a wide geographical and cultural breadth.
This book assumes that understanding complexity, including social, cultural, ecological and economic interconnections, is crucial to any solution.
Sustaining the seas is one of the most pressing global challenges for the planet and all her inhabitants.
How to do justice to this challenge is an exigency for all scholars, and how to represent the oceans is a guiding theme in the book that is addressed by scholars, artists, and practitioners.
