The Ocean's Whistleblower

Daniel Pauly is "an iconoclast" (New York Times) in the world of marine biology, known for his uniquely global approach to researching oceans and the fishing industry.
Pauly has been interviewed on Fresh Air, and consulted with or featured in Scientific American, National Geographic, New Scientist, and The Washington Post.
A profile of Pauly was published in the New York Times in 2003.
His TED Talk, "The ocean's shifting baseline" has more than 270,000 views.
Pauly's early life is described by the New York Times as "Dickensian" and included periods of abuse and enslavement at the hands of a Swiss family who stole him from his mother. Pauly pursued an education against all odds and traveled to the U.S. where he reconnected with his black American roots during the Civil Rights movement. This is the first book to tell the whole story of Pauly's spectacular life.
Pauly developed the ground-breaking concept of shifting baselines, has written several books, including Vanishing Fish and Darwin's Fishes, more than 500 scientific papers, and has won various prestigious awards for his work in marine biology, including the International Cosmos Prize, the Volvo Environment Prize, the Excellence in Ecology Prize, the Ted Danson Ocean Hero Award, the Ramon Margalef Prize in Ecology and Environmental Sciences, and the Nierenberg Prize for Science.
Timely-our oceans are in crisis, and Daniel Pauly is at the forefront of fighting for our them, making The Ocean's Whistleblower the perfect read for anyone interested in marine biology and saving our seas.
One of only a handful of biographies about black scientists.
