Dear John,

What if I told you we could reverse overfishing, protect fishermen, restore fisheries to sustainable levels and help preserve a way of life on the open oceans – all at the same time? 

Thanks to supporters like you, that’s exactly what has happened in fisheries around the U.S. And that’s the story told in a new book available now for preorder: Sea Change: Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions.

This inspiring narrative, cowritten by EDF Executive Director Amanda Leland and author James Workman, details a story of conflict, conversion and unexpected cooperation that rewrites the playbook for environmental victories. It’s an unfolding story that you made possible, and now you have the chance to read all about it. 

Sea Change will be released on September 30. But as an EDF member and supporter, you have an exclusive opportunity to preorder a copy for yourself and for your friends and family.

And if you enter “EDF” at checkout, 20% of the proceeds are sent to EDF, supporting more progress for current and future generations. 

For decades, overfishing was a textbook tragedy. Nets emptied, docks quieted and every effort to fix the problems only sparked more fights. 

Then an unthinkable coalition of hard-nosed captains, hard-data scientists, hard-pressed regulators and hard-driving environmentalists tore up the rulebook and built something better.  

Sea Change takes readers inside that turnaround through protagonist — and Texas Gulf Coast legend — Keith “Buddy” Guindon, who once fought catch shares and now champions the very solution he once opposed. 

In the face of many alarming threats and challenges, Sea Change offers the kind of hope that can reinvigorate our belief in progress and solutions. Inspiration refuels the soul, and this book will inspire both you and me. Preorder your copy now!

Thank you for your support and your ongoing commitment to the progress we are making together. 

All my best, 

Sam Parry
