"I highly recommend Thicker Than Water by Erica Cirino, who has combined science and writing to invite us on her journey all over the world to learn about the ocean plastic crisis."
"This book is chock full of information, presented in an exceptionally readable way, as Cirino moves from the decks of a 54 foot sloop on an expedition to the North Pacific Gyre – coined "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch," to collect samples from a plastic-infused ocean, (and in turn, plastic-infused fish bellies), to Kristian Syberg's lab in Denmark where all those samples were brought to be studied, to New Orleans with its toxic refineries and chemical complexes, to plastic-laden villages and beaches in Thailand, to plastic saturated Kamilo beach in Hawaii, and even back in time to 1972 when microplastics were first mentioned in scientific papers by scientists like Gerald Scott and Edward J. Carpenter."
"This book is not only a chronicle of Ms. Cirino's work, but also a call to action for communities and legislators around the world to join the fight to eliminate plastic pollution. Most importantly, Thicker Than Water is an interesting, informative, and vividly detailed story that needs to be read and shared by everyone."
