"Amazing and often heartrending adventures in and around the
ocean...A great read from an outstanding writer."
-- Philippe Cousteau, ocean explorer "Read Saved by the Sea for
pleasure, read it for adventure, read it because it conveys the
gift of being allowed to slip into David Helvarg's world and view
the ocean, and humankind, with profound new understanding. But
beware: This book has the power to change the way you think about
the world, about yourself, and about the future of humankind."
-- Sylvia Earle, ocean explorer and author of The World Is Blue
"This is a love story, filled as most of them are with a certain
amount of pain and a great deal of pleasure. David Helvarg has done
an awful lot to protect the world's oceans, not least this fine
piece of writing!"
-- Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature "An elegant memoir of
a meaningful life."
-- Kirkus Reviews "In this powerful story of love, loss, and
resolve, Helvarg bares his heart and takes us through his life and
across the oceans, letting us see that the antidote to all is
simply to have something to believe in, and a cause to serve."
-- Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean "An inspiring
read. And an important one."
-- San Francisco Chronicle
