Web in the Water E-BOOK

A Navy dolphin researcher, who discovered a way to communicate with the dolphins he worked with, refuses to divulge this information to his superiors, leading to a courts-martial and dishonorable discharge. Through a series of events, he joins with an environmental organization to utilize this discovery to end the killing of dolphins in tuna nets. Unbeknownst to him and his team, his discovery poses a serious threat to a worldwide way of thinking, and an effort is organized to kill the project and anything that gets in its way.

For the past fifty years, tuna fishers have been setting nets on dolphins to catch yellowfin tuna due to an enigmatic relationship between these two species in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. Over eight million dolphins have been killed in the process. While the premise of Web in the Water is fiction, much of what is included about these animals is not. This work informs readers of a severe and ongoing humanitarian issue. It opens a dialogue as to what internal assets a species must possess for us to recognize their right to live without human interference and exploitation.

Are we the only intelligent species on the planet, with logic, reason, a social nature, and culture? If not, how do we treat those who share so many things we have in common? Web in the Water is designed to get people thinking about these magnificent animals, the rights they should have, rand our role in understanding non-human intelligence.
