520    "Marine scientist Michael J. Moore says we are all whalers,
       but we don't have to be. Eating fish leads to North 
       Atlantic right whales' entanglement and death. Buying 
       goods made around the world requires global shipping 
       routes, which do not accurately consider right whale 
       breeding and feeding sites, leading to collision. To 
       explain this, Moore conveys to readers scenes from over 
       thirty years' worth of fieldwork, performing whale 
       necropsies for animals stranded on beaches, working as an 
       independent researcher alongside whalers using explosive 
       harpoons, and tracking injured pregnant whales to deliver 
       antibiotics. Despite these sometimes disturbing 
       experiences, Moore has written a hopeful book. He uses 
       these stories to show we can change and to tell us how; 
       the technology for rope-less fishing and tracking whale 
       migrations already exist to protect both right whales and 
       the people who depend on shipping and fishing for their 
       livelihoods"--|cProvided by publisher.
