520    "Rather than continue to focus on discrete, geographically
       bounded bodies of water, ocean advocate and marine-policy 
       researcher Deborah Wright urges a Plan Sea, which 
       reimagines the oceans as the continuous ecosystem it is, 
       not disconnected buckets of salt and plankton. This book 
       proposes that the global marine environment be protected 
       under the precautionary principle. It argues that the 
       policy framework for such protection already exists -- it 
       just needs to be enforced. In a series of case studies, 
       with first-person vignettes woven throughout, Wright 
       encourages us to begin every conversation about ocean 
       policy with the assumption that any extractive or 
       polluting activities in the world's oceans should require 
       special permission. Her argument invokes the Public Trust 
       Doctrine already embedded in many constitutions, and 
       hinges on the Law of the Sea, which was established by the
       U.N. in 1982 to protect the "high seas," or the remote 
       parts of the ocean considered international waters. To 
       some, Wright's plan may seem idealistic, but its audacity 
       might also be seen as a welcome nudge to our collective 
       imagination. Many scientists are convinced that ocean 
       ecosystems are on the brink of collapse -- there's 
       something to be said, then, for a book that's radical 
       enough to unlock new thinking about what might be possible,
       and maybe necessary, in terms of their protection"--
