An outstanding STEM picture book documenting the transformation of an aircraft carrier that was gutted and turned into the worlds largest artificial reef.
What happens when something designed to be unsinkable gets bombed to the bottom of the ocean floor? With careful preparation, new life can take root!
This incredible story brings young readers along on the journey of the aircraft carrier USS Oriskanythe Mighty Oas it gets stripped down to a steel shell for a new life below the waves. After 25 years of service, launching more aircraft than any other carrier of its time, the ship found a new mission as an artificial reef off the coast of Florida. The Mighty O was prepped and reefed by a team of more than 150 scientists, engineers, and technicians. Today, it is home to a flourishing variety of marine animals.
Designed to encourage regrowth and protect vulnerable marine life, artificial reefs are a crucial tool in the fight against overfishing, pollution, and warming water temperatures. Extensive back matter reveals more about the Mighty Os history, the diseases eating away at the worlds natural reef systems, and the role artificial reefs play under the sea, and budding marine biologists will love poring over the exquisite illustrations.
Books for a Better Earth are designed to inspire children to become active, knowledgeable participants in caring for the planet they live on.
