Fewer people have been to the deepest part of the ocean than have been to the moon. Even now, the vast majority of this wilderness—which coverfs over 70% of the planet and forms its largest ecosystem—has never been seen by human eyes, let alone explored or investigated by sscientists. Yet our oceans contain perhaps 90% of all life, and the physical and biological processes within in are critical to supporting our existence on earth.
From one of the world's pre-eminent marine biologists (who consults for the Blue Planet series!) comes a dazzling account of the ocean's enormous untold impact on our lives, and an empowering vision of how we can protect it.
