A tribute to our watery planet -- and real-life adventure story by Sylvia Earle, a World Wildlife Fund national council member and diving pioneer. In this book she introduces us to marine biology and recounts her many exploits underwater. Former chief scientist of NOAA (the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration), Earle has become our ambassador-at-large for the world's oceans. Using many examples of contemporary threats to the health of the world's oceans in this lively book, she takes us to the fish markets of Tokyo, sight of the Valdez disaster in Prince William Sound, and to the Persian Gulf. The book concludes with a detailed, constructive plan of what we must do to preserve our ocean resources.
