Charles Moore and Cassandra Phillips, “Plastic Ocean: How a Sea Captain’s Chance Discovery Launched a Determined Quest to Save the Oceans” takes readers through Capt. Charles’ work in oceanography — from his initial voyage to the North Pacific Gyre in 1997 to his later efforts to educate the world about the plastic pandemic polluting our ocean and waterways.
