Books About Oils Spills and Wetlands

We recommend these books if you would like more information about oil spills and wetlands:

Oil Spill! (Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science)
This book provides an overview of oil spills, including their causes, the damage that results, and strategies for dealing with them. It ends with some suggestions about ways to help prevent oil spills, from conserving energy at home to writing letters to Congress.

Prince William
This is the tale of a girl who finds an oil-covered seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. She follows the seal’s recovery as volunteers take care of him at the animal rescue center. Although the story is fictional, it shows how people come together to repair the damage after a disaster and make a difference in the lives of individual animals.

A Day in the Salt Marsh
The Gulf oil spill threatens the coastal wetlands, including salt marshes, that line the Gulf and provide many important benefits to people and wildlife. This book introduces the salt marsh habitat and the essential role this ecosystem plays. Rhyming text describes the plants and animals that live in the marsh and the changes that take place as the tide rises and falls throughout the day.

About Habitats: Wetlands
Detailed full-page paintings show the different types of wetland habitats, including coastal wetlands. This book offers an up-close view of what a wetland is, what kinds of plants and animals live there, and how wetlands help keep nature in balance.
