A Home by the Sea: Protecting Coastal Wildlife

A little blue penguin caught in an oil slick flounders to shore and a likely death; a dolphin the size of a bicycle gets caught in a fisherman's net and nearly drowns; a yellow-eyed penguin wanders in confusion, searching for its nesting site in a tract of newly constructed seaside homes. When the animals that live along the world's coastlines cross paths with humans, too often the animals lose out. But does it have to be this way? This inspiring look at three conservation programs in New Zealand explores how humans and animals can share precious living space. Kenneth Mallory shows people working together at every level--from a government dolphin-protection program to a grassroots penguin shelter--to protect wildlife.

Animals

One of the world's experts on hammerhead sharks, marine biologist Pete Klimley is fighting the stereotype of sharks as primitive and vicious killers. In fact, hammerheads exhibit some remarkably sophisticated social behaviors, including their schooling in the hundreds at underwater seamounts in the Pacific Ocean. To tell the story of these incredible animals, author Ken Mallory talked with Pete Klimley and then traveled to tiny Cocos Island, 330 miles off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. There, he had the chance of a lifetime to see these awe-inspiring animals up close.
