Urban reef life, books to read, and topics on biodiversity.
Here’s a few things that caught my eye this week.

A couple of weeks ago I asked for some book recommendations for my upcoming trip. Here are some suggestions I got back from you all. I like the mix of fiction and non-fiction, with a little sci-fi.
The Swarm - Frank Shatzing
“This book is a Sci Fi adventure /apocalypse story, it feels like written to be a movie. It is basically what if the ocean attacked us, and included Orcas attacking boats, that seems to be in the news now. I did learn a bit about the oceans, and how we are using them.”
Gypsy Moth Circles the World - Sir Francis Chichester
“My early favorite was the gipsy moth story of Francis Chichester.”
More here: Bucklershard - Gypsy Moth IV
The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder - David Grann

I found this Substack, The Nature Beat, recently. Not all of the posts are available to free subscribers, but if you are interested in news and the latest research on biodiversity, this might be a newsletter for you.
Have a great weekend everyone!
