About this book
Adam Fish examines how the use of drones in ocean conservation—such as using them to check the vitality of whales, seals, turtles, and coral reefs—can help create an ocean whose flourishing both depends upon and escapes the control of technologies.

Reviews
“Oceaning is full of fascinating stories, finely rendered and theorized, about today’s tools of ocean monitoring. Adam Fish’s tales of marine conservation technologies maps fresh configurations of oceanic bodies, intimacies, and elementalities. You will not see that drone hovering above the seashore in quite the same way after you read this absorbing book.”
-- Stefan Helmreich, author A Book of Waves
“This beautifully crafted, elegantly written, and poignant book offers a nuanced and complex rendering of the power and potentiality of drones to remake ocean conservation. Rooted in the lively materialities of ocean life, Oceaning foregrounds animal lives in a crucial way and never strays from considering the ethical dilemmas of conservation practices, eschewing the politics of purity as it demands we do something about the human impact on nonhuman life. This outstanding work is an absolute delight to read.”
-- Stephanie Rutherford, author of Governing the Wild: Ecotours of Power
“The invisibility and inaccessibility of Earth’s oceans has meant they are exposed to all the tragedies of the commons. That is changing quickly. Drones are part of increasingly granular webs of planetary sensing upon which any robust ecological governance depends. Adam Fish’s book explores how as oceans and their myriad forms of life are increasingly visible, they become more conservable, defensible, and governable.”
-- Benjamin Bratton, University of California, San Diego
