Redondo Beach, CA – The non-profit Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) is launching a first of its kind children’s book series featuring high-definition photos of marine life combined with original illustrations. The book series is just the first step in what will become a global campaign to educate and inspire young people to protect the world’s oceans. The SOSF plans to expand the series to publish future books in different formats, targeting different age groups.

Never before has a book series used state-of-the-art undersea photography combined with original character illustrations to promote environmental awareness to children.

The first two books of the series are hitting bookstores nationwide this month. “The Devil Fish” and “The Great White Red Alert” are aimed at children ages 8-12.

“We wanted to take the fun of book series’ like Nancy Drew, the mystery of the ocean from greats like Jacques Cousteau, mix in animation and real-life like The Incredible Mr. Limpet and Roger Rabbit and combine all those elements to get today’s gadget-savvy kids excited and inspired about preserving the ocean,” says Jon Rosenberg, whose company Jokar Productions LLC is producing the revolutionary book series.

The oceans could use the next generation’s help. The Pew Environmental Group believes the past 50 years of human activity has irreparably damaged even the most remote parts of the sea. There is six times more plastic than plankton in the ocean. The shark population has been depleted by 90-percent, upsetting the sea’s delicate circle-of-life balance. Oil drilling, whaling, overfishing and pollution all take part in destroying the same ocean that sustains humans with consistent weather, food and jobs.

Time to save the oceans may be running out. Before his death in 1997 Jacques Cousteau told Time Magazine, “The oceans are in danger of dying…In the past, the sea renewed itself. It was a continuous cycle. But this cycle is being upset….some scientists think it’s too late. I don’t think so.”

Neither does Rosenberg. “We want to promote environmental responsibility to children. They are the future of this planet.”
