Reading this book feels like watching a documentary and I loved every moment of it! I am a bit biased because I’ve always loved learning about animals and I have a fondness for whales!
The authors take us from coral reefs, to mangrove forests, the Arctic, and the Southern Ocean.
We see the interplay of different species of marine and terrestrial life as they navigate the challenges of their ecosystems.
The impact of human activities is integrated into several sections and the authors share many conservation efforts that have succeeded in protecting these ecosystems. I enjoyed the stories of community-led stewardship of these protected areas and the acknowledgment of indigenous practices.
The illustrations and photos are beautiful and David Attenborough shares stories from throughout his filming career which were very entertaining.
Overall I recommend this to anyone who wants to know what it’s like to swim through a kelp forest, enjoy the wonders of coral reefs, or descend to the midnight zone! I also recommend this to anyone who is interested in current initiatives to conserve and protect the ocean.
