520    On May 31, 2009, a committed team of sailors, scientists, 
       teachers and conservationists joined forces on a voyage 
       that was vast in scope and ambition but launched under the
       simplest of ideas: The continents of North and South 
       America are a single island, surrounded by a shared ocean,
       and with a common set of challenges, communities, issues, 
       and solutions. This book tells the story of that adventure,
       and sounds a call to action for everyone who loves this 
       planet. In a journey that took 13 months, the Ocean Watch 
       circumnavigated the Americas, documenting the beauty that 
       exists, the peoples who rely on our oceans, and the 
       changes that are happening all too fast. This book can be 
       read any number of ways: as an exciting seafaring 
       adventure, as a beautifully photographed appreciation of 
       the beauty of the Americas, or as a global warning, 
       documenting the ways our world is changing forever.--From
