My New Kid’s Book Series has Arrived with Book Two of Ocean Friends, More Fish Faces! I have to admit that I am very excited about it!

more fish faces, ocean friends, all fish faces, fish faces — I’m photographing a Giant Manta Ray on an expedition with Marine Megafauna Foundation‘s Dr. Andrea Marshall.

You all know how passionate I am about the ocean and about animals, especially ocean animals. I have traveled to all seven continents and had incredible experiences. Going on citizen science expeditions have been some of the most fulfilling trips of my life. I’ve been cage diving with Great White Sharks, seen Dwarf Minke Whales, Whale Sharks, Manta Rays, Gray Whales, Humpback Whales, Killer Whales, and taken photographs for scientific identification of many other species. I have loved every moment of it, and I share what I have learned in my new book series, Ocean Friends!

Teaching Kids and their Families about Tropical Reef Fish might Save our Oceans!

Teaching Kids and their Families about Tropical Reef Fish might Save our Oceans!

Climate Change is a serious issue, and our oceans are under heavy stress. Every time I go on a dive trip, I see how much more bleaching there is, how many fewer fish there are, and how much warmer the water is. How can we truly make a difference, and assure our children and grandchildren understand the problem and the stakes involved? Grandma and Grandpa need to pay attention as well, since we are the ones leaving an over heating planet to our descendants.

My book, ALL FISH FACES, Photos and Fun Facts about Tropical Reef Fish seeks to educate by sharing photographs of reef fish faces! Along with the photos and fun facts about fish, there are suggestions on how we can each make simple changes in our lives that could make a big difference.

In addition, I am adding videos about these fish to my YouTube, and I would love for you to take a look, and of course, subscribe! Let’s spread the word, and maybe by learning about our fishy friends, we might also learn that we need to make changes if we want to keep our oceans, and our lives, intact.

I am planning a Second Edition, and additional books to the series, but for now I will be posting videos! I hope you enjoy, and share, them!

FISH FACES, book, tam warner minton, andrea marshall, queen of mantas — FISH FACES!

Yep, it is the Real Deal! Nothing like announcing a book and then have it mucked up in publishing! But, Fish Faces, Photos and Fun Facts about Tropical Reef Fish, is available! After redoing some graphics and changing the formatting, I am very, very happy with it. Right now it is available on LULU.com at http://www.lulu.com/shop/tam-warner-minton/fish-faces/paperback/product-23212566.html. Right now you can buy it on LULU, but shortly it will be available on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles at the same price. It is meant for people of all ages, though children love the ocean and ocean creatures! We can safely say it is a book for children of all ages! What can be better for our planet than learning about its creatures and marveling at their beauty?

I am dedicated to the preservation and conservation of our oceans, and I will give 10% of any profits to the Marine Megafauna Foundation which was co-founded by Dr. Andrea Marshall to conduct research and save our ocean giants. I have gone on expeditions with Andrea, and support her efforts 100%. Take a look, and I think you will too! Andrea is known as the Queen of Mantas, and has a documentary that was shown on BBC many years ago. Thanks to her and her students, much more is known about these animals now! They are doing important work.

Fish Faces, Tam Warner Minton, ebook, ocean — **My first published book!**

My first published book on Amazon! Yes, I finally did it! I wrote a book on a subject near and dear to my heart, our intriguing fish friends in the ocean. FISH FACES, Photos and Fun Facts, is a photo book of common reef fish from all over the world. Children of all ages (that includes you!) will enjoy looking at these colorful and engaging fish, and learning a fun fact about each one. A paperback copy will soon be available as well.

As an amateur underwater photographer, scuba diver, and citizen scientist, I have seen the damage being wreaked on our ocean, and on our ocean friends. By learning about these gorgeous and fascinating fish species, it is my hope we can teach our children and grandchildren the value of the underwater world, and how necessary it is to protect our oceans. FISH FACES is the first book in the series, OCEAN FRIENDS. 10 percent of the profits will go to Marine Megafauna Foundation, a non profit dedicated to saving our ocean pelagics from extinction.

I am, of course, very excited about publishing my very first book, and to celebrate, I am giving away 3 free copies on Amazon! Please visit the GIVEAWAY on Amazon, and be sure to enter and share with your friends!
