Silent Seas - The Fish Race to the Bottom - now published in English

Silent Seas - The Fish Race to the Bottom is the book that made the Swedish government reverse its fisheries policy and changed the author’s career from journalist to politician. Now, July 2012, the English translation of Isabella Lövin’s award-winning Silent Seas is published.

Originally released in Sweden 2007 as Tyst hav, Silent Seas - The Fish Race to the Bottom is a revealing story about the fisheries crisis in Europe. Winning 14 awards, the book sparked such a debate in Sweden that the author, Isabella Lövin, was asked by the Green party to be a candidate in the 2009 European election.

After telling the story of how failed the EU’sCommon Fisheries Policy has become, Isabella Lövin is now working to change it as a leading member of the European Parliament’s fisheries committee.
