For millennia the great fishmarlin, bluefin tuna, and swordfishhave reigned over the worlds oceans and awed human beings. Naturalists, photographers, sportfishermen, and writers from Zane Grey to Ernest Hemingway have been inspired by their beauty, power, and sheer size. But like much other marine life today, these fish face perilous reductions in their populations due to destructive and illegal fishing, inept fisheries management practices, and dramatic changes in ocean ecology, including those wrought by climate change. In Pursuit of Giants is a moving elegy and a call to arms for the protection of these creatures, as well as a fiveyear, 75,000mile global adventure story that takes author Matt Rigney on a quest to discover how oncethriving species are now threatened. Rigneys pilgrimage to encounter these giants takes him from the sportfishing mecca of Cabo San Lucas, to the Great Barrier Reef, from New Zealand to Nova Scotia, Japan and the Mediterranean, as he joins commercial and sport fishermen, marine biologists, fishfarming pioneers, and ocean activists to investigate the dangers these species face, and the various efforts being madeor notto protect them.
