Moby-duck : the true story of 28,800 bath toys lost at sea and of the beachcombers, oceanographers, environmentalists, and fools, including the author, who went in search of them / by Hohn, Donovan.(CARDINAL)502292;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 381-384).Going overboard -- The first chase -- The second chase -- The third chase -- The fourth chase -- The fifth chase -- The last chase, part one -- The last chase, part two.When the author heard of the mysterious loss of thousands of bath toys at sea, he figured he would interview a few oceanographers, talk to a few beachcombers, and read up on Arctic science and geography. But questions can be like ocean currents: wade in too far, and they carry you away. His accidental odyssey pulls him into the secretive world of shipping conglomerates, the daring work of Arctic researchers, the lunatic risks of maverick sailors, and the shadowy world of Chinese toy factories. This work is a journey into the heart of the sea and an adventure through science, myth, the global economy, and some of the worst weather imaginable. With each new discovery, he learns of another loose thread, and with each successive chase, he comes closer to understanding where his castaway quarry comes from and where it goes.

Plasticus maritimus : an invasive species / by Pêgo, Ana(Marine biologist),author.(CARDINAL)840357; Carvalho, Bernardo P.,1973-illustrator.(CARDINAL)627591; Martins, Isabel Minhð,author.; Springer, Jane,translator.(CARDINAL)533688;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 164-168)Introduction -- The importance of oceans -- The species plasticus maritimus -- Do you want to know more about plastic? -- Common ocean plastic -- Exotic ocean plastic -- How to go into the field -- What we can do -- Recycling: why can't we just relax?"When she was young, biologist Ana P®o didn't play in a backyard but on a beach. As she grew older, Ana realized that a new species was becoming more and more common in the sand. She decided to collect the species and give it a name: Plasticus maritimus. She dedicated her life to studying plastic in the oceans and raising awareness of the danger it poses to the health of the planet. Inspired by Ana's experiences, and backed by extensive research, this book explains how plastics are ever more present in our oceans, lakes and streams--more than 9 million tons a year! She explains how plastic is made, offers a field guide to help young people identify the Plasticus maritimus species, and takes a critical look at our current "solutions" to plastic contamination. A call for deep changes in our habits, this book encourages young people (and adults) to become part of the solution. Invasive, deeply destructive, and almost indestructible, Plasticus maritimus is a species that should go extinct!"--from Back cover.1040L
