40. Quelling the Storm at Sea and the Ocean View from Lazy Point [itunes]

Carl Safina talks about, and reads from, his book The View from Lazy Point. A year of observations is presented in gripping details from the tip of the swallowtail that is Eastern Long Island. Carl takes us beyond the mysteries of fishing into deep connections with place and fish. Discover the compatible yet distinctive natural history of the Common Tern and its close relative the Roseate Tern. Three things that we need to understand are: that life is a fully networked community; we ought to act with reverence and caution; and “that the story we write with our lives affects those living near and far, and not just now but in the distant future.” To sail these complex and opaque waters with treacherous shores looming large to leeward, we must be more nibble in our steering and find our way with a “compass of compassion.” Carl’s television series on PBS is “Saving the Ocean.” His next book is Sea of Flames.
