Saved by the Sea: A Love Story with Fish

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Blue Frontier President, David Helvarg has devoted his life to the world’s oceans and the people who depend on them. This memoir is the remarkable story of his career in activism and journalism, where his fight to save the oceans has become a visionary and, at times, all consuming cause. From bodysurfing Central American war zones, diving barrier reefs with his tragically fated love Nancy, or being bumped by a whale off Antarctica, David Helvarg has lived a life often as endangered as the ocean he now works to protect. ‘Saved by the Sea – A Love Story with Fish’ is the well-told tale of this long-time journalist and private investigator’s personal love, loss and redemption in the free flowing heart of our blue planet.

David Helvarg, will present his newest book at the New England Aquarium on Tuesday, May 11 at 7 pm. The Ocean River Institute will host him during his stay in Boston. David will be arriving on Sunday, May 9, and staying till Wednesday, May 12. Drop us a line at ORI if you’d like to catch up with the eminent Seaweed Rebel. You can hear David’s adventures when Rob spoke with David from the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies on Episode 15 - Seaweed Rebels Rally and Wear Blue for President Obama's National Ocean Policy
