Beginning with the ocean's fascinating deep history, Helen Scales links past to present to show how the prehistoric ocean ecology was already working in ways similar to the ocean of today. Scales takes readers into the realms of animals that epitomize today's increasingly challenging conditions. Offering innovative ideas for protecting coastlines and cleaning the toxic seas, Scales insists we need more ethical and sustainable fisheries and must prevent the other existential threat of deep-sea mining, which could significantly alter life on earth.
