Into the Blue Book Club's next meeting will be held on Thursday, November 11, at 8 pm EST! Have any book suggestions? When you join the Into the Blue Book Club you'll have the option to suggest some of your favorite ocean-themed books on our registration page.
Into the Blue Book Club will be reading captivating books about the ocean and marine life. Books can range from fiction ocean-themed adventures to educational, non-fiction conservation topics. The goal of each choice is to select a book that will not only inform members on a variety of topics regarding marine science and conservation but also bring together like-minded individuals who share a common admiration for our blue planet.
The book of discussion for our next meeting on November 11, 8 pm EST will be:
Ocean Outbreak: Confronting the Rising Tide of Marine Disease
By: Drew Harvell
Ocean Outbreak explores the four biggest epidemics, taking the reader to the front lines of our confrontations with infectious diseases to investigate how four iconic marine animals have been devastated: starfish, abalone, salmon and coral reefs. The stories of these outbreaks reveal how we are tipping the balance in favor of pathogens and how we can find our way back to healthier seas, combating infection with nature’s own pathogen-fighting weapons.
A full synopsis of the novel is available on GoodReads.
