Support her kickstarter here.

Check out the new coalition that is Transform Bottom Trawling that Ruth is a part of. They have some really useful info and graphics that you can download and it’s available in several languages.

Find the pre-existing book about Dugongs here.

For people interested in learning about sawfishes, they can check out the Sawfish Conservation Society.

Here’s a petition requesting the EU to ban bottom trawling.

Sea Change Ireland, The Irish Wildlife Trust, Sea Shepherd, Extinction Rebellion & Animal Rebellion were all mentioned as groups working to end bottom trawling practices & increase Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Seal Rescue Ireland is another great charity to support and you can also listen to them in a previous Book of Leaves episode, here!
