Earle describes the first time she went to the ocean: ‘I was three years old and I got knocked over by a wave The ocean certainly got my attention! It wasn’t frightening,
it was thrilling
And since then I have been fascinated by life in the ocean.’

The Gulf of Mexico has had many problems, especially after the Deepwater Horizon Oil disaster of 2010, but Earle says, ‘In 2003 I found positive signs in clear, deep water far from the mouth of the Mississippi River It was full of life Large areas of the Gulf are not damaged Protecting the most important places will be good for the future of the Gulf and for all of us’

The city of Detroit, in the USA, was once compared to Paris It had a broad river, smart streets and historically important architecture Then, in the 20th century, it became ‘Motor
City’ For a time, most of the world’s cars were made here There was regular work and a good salary in the motor industry A worker at one of the car factories could own a home, plus a boat, maybe even a holiday cottage Some say America’s middle class was born in Detroit – new highways certainly made it easy for workers to move from the city centre to the suburbs in the 1950s But in the early years of the 21st century, Detroit became America’s poorest big city
In less than five decades the once lively Motor City lost more than half its
population It became known as a city that was failing, full of ruined buildings,
extensive poverty and crime Newspapers and magazines told stories of derelict homes and empty streets
Photographers went to Detroit to record the strange beauty of buildings and city blocks where nature was taking over again What went wrong in Detroit?
Trang 6The city is now 69th among US cities for the number of people per square mile The population fell for several reasons Partly, it was because people moved to the suburbs in the 1950s Then there were the shocking riots in 1967, which scared more people away from the city Then there was the dramatic fall in car manufacture as companies like General Motors and Chrysler faced huge difficulties And finally, in
2008, came the global financial crisis Many of Detroit’s people are poor – half of the city’s families live on less than 25,000 dollars a year
In 2013, the city did something unusual: it declared itself bankrupt It was the largest city bankruptcy in US history, at approximately 18-20 billion dollars Now that the city is free of debt, it has money to do some of what needs to be done It has replaced about 40,000 streetlights so that places feel safer The police arrive in answer to calls in less than 20 minutes now, instead of the hour it used to take And about a hundred empty houses are demolished each week to make space for new buildings With the nation’s biggest city bankruptcy behind it, Detroit is also attracting investors and young adventurers The New Economy Initiative gave grants
of 10,000 dollars to each of 30 new small businesses It seems that every week a new business opens in Detroit – grocery stores, juice bars, coffee shops, even bicycle makers Finally, the city is working again
