Praise for Alanna Mitchell’s book Sea Sick

“[Mitchell] traveled around the world to get this story, reporting it like a demon and writing like an angel.” – Grantham Prize Jury comments

“With a writer’s eye for detail and a reporter’s expertise in pulling in disparate information, Mitchell has woven a powerful and deeply unsettling story about our collective abuse of the cradle of all life. Fortunately, she also gives up hope and a path forward if we have the wisdom to act.” – Maude Barlow

“Sea Sick is an adventure tale with scientists as the heroes. With wit, style and a powerful sense of history it takes us on a wonderful fact-finding tour beneath the surface of Earth’s largest habitat. It could help change the way we think about our relationship with the seas.” – Roger Harrabin, BBC

“Humanity is visiting a desolation upon the world. We already bear primary responsibility for the extermination of more than 100,000 fellow species. During the next few decades, that colossal massacre may well be doubled or trebled. Death is running amok on the earth, but especially in the seas. If you would know how and why, read Sea Sick… although it may make you heartsick.” – Farley Mowat
