The Once and Future Ocean

Notes Toward a New Hydraulic Society

About this book

A call to action for a sustainable future, transforming our relationship with the ocean and its vital role in human survival.

The Once and Future Ocean, by Peter Neill, envisions a new "hydraulic society" where the ocean and its inter-connected cycles of water determine how we live. This book explores the ocean's impact on:

  • Climate
  • Fresh water
  • Food
  • Energy
  • Health
  • Security
  • Community living
  • Cultural traditions

Neill argues for a new ocean ethic and offers concrete solutions for a world looking for alternatives. He challenges us to move beyond concern to action, to embrace a new vision of sustainability that values the ocean as essential to our future.

For general readers interested in environmental issues, policy makers, scientists, and anyone concerned about the future of the ocean.
