World Ocean Census
Imagine a catalog of every living creature that once made, now makes or will make its home in the ocean. World Ocean Census, compiled by Darlene Trew Crist, Gail Scowcroft and James M. Harding Jr., gives us the answers—in a style that will appeal to laymen and experts alike!
Packed with glorious color photographs of marine creatures, the book traces historical accounts of marine ecosystems and profiles the tools used by undersea explorers, from multibeam sonar data to tagging specimens. The final section ponders the marine world in a future threatened by humanity and climate change. Well-researched and beautifully written, World Ocean Census will delight and inspire anyone curious about undersea life.
