Bluewater Gold Rush: The Odyssey of a California Sea Urchin Diver
"Bluewater Gold Rush is a fast-paced memoir, filled with picturesque narratives of living on and under the ocean, providing an unforgettable window into a life filled with huge rewards and crippling loss" --Christina J. Slager, Curator, Montery Bay Aquarium"Tom Kendrick's fine first book sends the reader across the channel in a high-speed boat, slaps an air hose on them, and drops them into a stunning world of compelling characters, alpha predators, and spiny cash crops" --Scott Hulet, Editor, The Surfer's Journal"A remarkable story - I knew something about commercial urchin diving before, but now I almost feel like I was one" --John D. McCosker, Chair of Aquatic Biology, California Academy of Sciences
