Ocean Endangered (Signed by Author)

£20.00

by Dr Russell Arnott and Celine Van Weelden with foreword by Maya Plass at The Marine Biological Association 

All our seas feed into one true ocean, interconnected and interdependent. Producing over half of the world’s oxygen, our planet’s ocean is a natural and vital wonder. As well as supporting a vast array of life, it plays a crucial role in regulating our weather and climate and it supplies us with food, medicine, recreation and a means of transport. Now it is under threat from many sides, such as overfishing, climate change and pollution to name a few.

From the still waters of the Caribbean coastlines to the choppy North Sea, the Polar regions to the coral reefs, this book celebrates the essential ecosystems of our ocean around the world, providing a pictorial record of this wondrous world that needs our protection.

  1. Dr Elizabeth Mills – Marine Mumbles YouTube Channel

    Absolutely covered in ocean creatures, full of amazing pictures. It walks you through the entire ocean from the coast to the deep sea. But unlike some of the other books I’ve read, this is a people-based book. It is written from the point of view of how we as people interact with all the different levels of the ocean. Very informative, very blunt about the realities that the ocean is facing at the moment, and takes you on a journey on how humans are connected to the ocean and how we are having an impact. But then also gives you how awesome the oceans are and how we can protect it. And giving that information to people is really important. I just think it’s a really lovely book.

  2. Anke De Sagher – European Marine Science Educators’ Association

    In my humble opinion: a book people everywhere should have on their coffee tables in order to spark conversation about our ocean’s wonders while entertaining their friends and family.

    Ocean Endangered is a most necessary book, that clearly explains what’s at stake, while at the same time beautifully describing the most mesmerising creatures in our ocean. A must-read for all.
