Oceans Rising: Stories of Survival

The ocean is both witness and warning. Oceans Rising brings together powerful stories from coastal communities, marine ecosystems, and scientists navigating a rapidly changing sea.
This book explores rising sea levels, warming waters, coral loss, and shifting fisheries through lived experience rather than abstract data. Islanders, fishers, and researchers share how survival now depends on adaptation, resilience, and collective action.
Rather than focusing only on loss, the narrative highlights ingenuity. Communities redesign coastlines, restore mangroves, and rethink livelihoods. The ocean becomes a space of struggle and learning—where human futures are reshaped alongside marine life.
The book emphasizes connection. What happens at sea reaches far inland through climate, economy, and food systems. Oceans are not distant—they are central to planetary balance.
Key focus areas include:
• Coastal resilience and adaptation
• Marine ecosystems under stress
• Human stories from rising seas
• Innovation in ocean protection
• Global impact of ocean change
Oceans Rising presents survival not as retreat, but as transformation—showing how life at the water’s edge responds to a changing planet.
