Holly's book Message in a Bottle: Ocean Dispatches from a Seabird Biologist, published in 2023, focuses on a troubling pattern spotted on her voyages across the world's seas: plastic pollution.
Combining nature, science and adventure writing, Hogan puts the spotlight on the impact of plastic waste, providing an eyewitness account of its effects on the marine environment and highlighting international efforts to reduce plastic disposal in the ocean.
In an interview with Nature Canada, Holly said: “The ocean will support life, but it doesn’t insist on it. The ocean doesn’t make choices. We do.”
"This is not the time for despair – it is time to take informed, positive action. There are many progressive steps already underway. The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) is working toward an international legally binding agreement that could see an 80% reduction in plastic pollution by 2040." [1]
Message in a Bottle won the 2023 BMO Winterset Award, was a finalist for the 2023 Governor General's Literary Award for Non-Fiction, and was shortlisted for both the 2023 Science Writers and Communicators Book Award and 2024 Lane Anderson Award.
