Home by the Sea : Protecting Coastal Wildlife

In this inspiring portrait of three New Zealand conservation programs, Kenneth Mallory illuminates how humans & animals can share precious living space. Snapshots of coastal wildlife: A little blue penguin, caught in an oil slick, flounders to shore & a likely death; a dolphin the size of a bicycle gets caught in a fisherman's net & nearly drowns; a yellow-eyed penguin wanders in confusion, searching for its nesting site in a tract of newly constructed seaside homes. When the animals that live along the world's coastlines cross paths with humans, too often the animals lose out. But it doesn't have to be this way. The success of New Zealand's efforts reveals what we all must do to ensure that animals & people can live peacefully side by side on Earth far into the future.
