Charles Clover's 'Rewilding the Sea: How to Save our Oceans' is a riveting exploration of marine conservation that has earned a place on the 2023 Wainwright Prize shortlist. Hailed as 'desperately needed' by Isabella Tree and lauded by Stephen Fry as potentially the year's most crucial publication, this tome serves as an essential sequel to Clover's acclaimed 'The End of the Line: How Overfishing is Changing the World'.
With the precision of a detective and the passion of an adventurer, Clover unveils a world where determined individuals are proving that the tide of oceanic devastation can indeed be turned. From the Atlantic's overfished bluefin tuna to the coral gardens of Lyme Bay and the oyster beds of America's East Coast, 'Rewilding the Sea' chronicles the remarkable recovery of marine ecosystems when nature is allowed to take the helm.
The author presents startling scientific evidence: trawling and dredging generate more CO2 than the aviation industry, while ravaging vast swathes of our continental shelves. Clover argues that by adopting alternative fishing methods - or indeed, refraining from fishing altogether in certain areas - we can simultaneously boost carbon storage and fish populations.
This enlightening work compels us to re-evaluate our relationship with the sea, offering a beacon of hope amidst the murky waters of environmental despair. 'Rewilding the Sea' not only illuminates the path to oceanic salvation but assures us that the journey is far more achievable than we might have imagined.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
