Oceans of Plastic

“In this new book for upper primary+, readers learn how ocean systems and swirling currents bring plastics together into massive ocean garbage patches. It also uncovers the floating world of the ‘plastisphere’ – a mini community of microbes living on ocean plastics – and explains how plastic breaks up, not down, and can even end up on their dinner plate!” – Tracey Gray * The Bottom Shelf *“I enjoyed reading Oceans of Plastic very much and learned some interesting and surprising facts that blew me away. […] The book is full of cool facts and information, but also shows how you yourself can help save the planet! […] I think that if you are curious about nature, marine biology and how we can make a change, then this book is for you!” – Sammy * Double Helix #57 *“Author Tracy Gray, an environmental science teacher, and aquatic scientist, certainly knows how to produce a good book packed with fascinating information, and useful action points to help us all deal with the massive plastic problems humanity has created.” – Henricus Peters * Wildlife Australia Magazine *
