From Library Journal:

This entertaining but somewhat rambling account of a six-month Caribbean odyssey focuses on threats to a fragile ecosystem. The author, chairman of the Center for Marine Conservation in Washington, D.C. and an enthusiastic sailor of a 32-foot Chinese junk-rigged schooner, expresses his concern for such things as plastic debris on beaches and the continuing decline in the endangered species and habitats. In his journey, Frankel seeks a dialog about these problems as he confers with government officials, private developers, and scientists on the 22 islands he visits. Useful for educating the sailor and Caribbean tourist to the serious environmental issues facing the region, this book is recommended for public library purchase where interest exists.
