Flotsam (what we’re obsessed with right now)

Atlas Obscura is on a roll this week with some seriously fabulous ocean coverage, including my new favs:

Lagan (what we’re reading from the peer-reviewed literature)

Shipping News (academic and ocean policy wonkery)

Driftwood (what we’re reading on dead trees)

It’s a month of reading weird, weird, ocean science fiction. Why not kick it off with two of my guilty favorites?

Derelicts (favorites from the deep archive)
