Burns, Loree Griffin Tracking Trash: Flotsam, Jetsam And
The Science Of Ocean Motion
J 551.462 Burns
This is the story of scientists who track ocean going trash in order to discover how to better protect the environment. Dr. Curtis Ebbesmeyer is one such scientist. He is considered to be a leading expert on flotsam and jetsam, floating trash that falls or is thrown from ships at sea. Some of his experiments involve tracking sneakers and rubber ducks. For grades 5-8,
this is a well written book, fine for recreational reading or report writing. Photos, charts, and diagrams are an added enrichment. Check out the picture of the litter strewn beach on Kure Atoll, which is a remote, uninhabited Pacific island. Eye-opening!
