درباره این کتاب:
Drones are
revolutionizing ocean conservation. By
flying closer and seeing more, drones
enhance intimate contact between ocean
scientists and activists and marine life.
In the process, new dependencies between
nature, technology, and humans emerge, and
a paradox becomes apparent: Can we have a
wild ocean whose survival is reliant upon
technology? In Oceaning, Adam Fish answers
this question through eight stories of
piloting drones to stop the killing of
porpoises, sharks, and seabirds and to
check the vitality of whales, seals,
turtles, and coral reefs. Drone
conservation is not the end of nature.
Instead, drone conservation results in an
ocean whose flourishing both depends upon
and escapes the control of technologies.
Faulty technology, oceanic and atmospheric
turbulence, political corruption, and the
inadequacies of basic science serve to
foil governance over nature. Fish contends
that what emerges is an ocean/culture—a
flourishing ocean that is distinct from
but exists alongside humanity..
