Unfamiliar Fishes: A Journey Through the Hidden Waters of the Salish Sea

About the Book

In her latest book, Unfamiliar Fishes, Sarah Vowell takes readers on a journey through the hidden waters of the Salish Sea, a vast and diverse body of water that stretches from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Puget Sound. Along the way, she encounters a kaleidoscope of marine life, from giant Pacific octopuses to tiny sea stars. With her signature wit and humor, Vowell brings the Salish Sea to life, and shows us why it is one of the most biodiverse bodies of water in the world.

Vowell's journey begins in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, where she meets a group of scientists who are studying the effects of climate change on the marine environment. She then travels to Puget Sound, where she learns about the history of the area and the many different cultures that have called it home. Along the way, she encounters a variety of marine creatures, including seals, sea lions, and whales. Vowell also takes the time to explore the Salish Sea's many islands, each of which has its own unique ecosystem.
