In this captivating book, artist and avid beachcomber Josie Iselin celebrates the unexpected beauty of seaweed, an often overlooked but fundamental aspect of ocean life.
Produced on a flatbed scanner, Iselin’s vibrant portraits of ocean flora reveal the exquisite color and extraordinary forms of more than two hundred specimens gathered from tidal pools along the California and Maine coasts. Her engaging text, which accompanies the images, blends personal observation and philosophical musings with scientific fact. Like her previous books, An Ocean Garden: The Secret Life of Seaweed is a poetic and compelling tribute to the natural world and the wonder it evokes.

Gift an Ocean Positive Year
Regular price
$440.00
Gift someone an #oceanpositive year by wiping out their carbon footprint! The perfect gift for the ocean lover in your life.
To do this, we'll plant mangrove trees in Mida Creek, Kenya, and protect a REDD+, VERRA and CCBA certified, "ridge to reef" watershed project in the Southern Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia - in order to wipe out the carbon footprint of your giftee.
For the USA, the estimated carbon footprint is based on direct energy use (electricity, natural gas), transportation (auto, air, public) and the embodied emissions from goods and services purchased throughout the year.
More info on the USA footprint calculations can be found here.
For other countries, the estimated carbon footprint is based on theannual per-capita footprintof each country (compiled by the International Energy Agency).
Instead of using an overly complex carbon calculator, we use the average footprint of your country/region as the best representation of someone's climate impact. This method is a more realistic estimate because it also includes indirect energy consumption of infrastructure and services.
If you feel that footprint of the person you are buying this gift for is significantly higher than average, then please use a reputable carbon calculator,such as this one from theUnited Nations, and then buy SeaTrees Tokens to wipe out the specific number of tons that you require.
Note: If your recipient doesn't receive a gift email, please have them check their "promotions" section.

Provides sustainable employment for the people in the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia - at a time when the pandemic had devastated Bali’s tourism-based economy
Supports over a dozen local families
Creates critical habitat for 500+ species
Your piece of coral will be grown in the Ped Acropora Coral Nursery until it istransplanted onto the reefs and monitored until the coral reef rebuilds, and marine life returns to the area. This will rapidly restore biodiversity to the reef and create a new thriving ecosystem.
The conservation of these ecosystems is vital to coastal protection, scientific research, medication, fishing, eco-tourism, and more.

The second in the Mop Rides series! Surfer kid Mop and his friends are back in a quest to save the ocean with mindfulness, surfing, and a band.
Mop and his friends are back, this time with a band, The Coconut Heads. Mop is riding high from the lessons he’s learned about riding the waves of life: to breathe, ride the good waves, and let the bad waves go by. But just when he feels like he’s getting the hang of it, he notices a turtle tangled in plastic at the beach. Paddling out to catch a wave, he sees more plastic, and he can’t get rid of his anger. It seems like he’s back to square one. But after an epic wipeout, he has a realization: deep down, under the anger, is love. He loves the ocean, and he wants to help keep it clean.
But how? Let’s just say it involves some party waves and a benefit concert by the Coconut Heads–and it’s not just their parents who show up.
Celebrated San Francisco surfer-journalist-dad Jaimal Yogis teaches 4-8 year-olds timeless beach wisdom with the continuing story of Mop, a sensitive and fun-loving kid who just wants to be in the ocean.
With stylish full-color beachy illustrations from cover to cover by So-Cal surfer Matt Allen.
