With careful preparation, new life can take root! This incredible story brings young readers along on the journey of the aircraft carrier USS Oriskanyâthe Mighty Oâas 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 Oâs history, the diseases eating away at the worldâs 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. 541 $d 20230918. 650 7 $a Environmental protection $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Boats and boating $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Marine biology $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Marine animals $v Juvenile literature. 650 $a Aircraft carriers $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a Reefs $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a Artificial reefs $v Juvenile literature. 651 7 $a Florida $x Juvenile literature. 700 $a Wright, Gordy, $e illustrator. 830 $a Books for a Better Earth. 941 $a 1 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20240116011102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FE3F8A4CB43C11EE853221B15BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
