WHAT THE WILD SEA CAN BE (HB)

No matter where we live, says Helen Scales, 'we are all ocean people'. Here she links past to present to show how prehistoric ocean ecology holds lessons for today, and takes us into the realms of animals that epitomize increasingly challenging conditions, such as emperor penguins, sharks and orcas. Despite the threats, many hopeful signs exist: increasing numbers of no-fish zones, the regeneration of kelp and sea grass forests, and efforts to create adaptive coral reefs are elements of the fight for a better future.
