A World Ocean Network member in India, Anitha.S, will very soon publish a book on Oceans and Climate Change called “Turn of the Tide- Turn off”.

There is a certain degree of ecological illiteracy that underlies all of human actions in the past century. The oceans where life first originated has been abused beyond repair. The tsunami, hurricanes and typhoons warn us how little we know about this ancient life support system. The deep relationship that exists between oceans and the climate of Earth that is being understood each day leaves us spellbound. The impact of Climate Change exposes to us what more could be in store and to many inconvenient Truths. It also has shown to us how human kind can come together like never before and discuss what needs to be done – the real time for TURN OF THE TIDE and TURN OFF.

The book is intended for educators in both the formal and informal sector. It shows the possible directions in which communication can be initiated about these crucial issues. The content of the book has been formulated after a few years of sharing with students, teachers, policy level planners and scientists.
