Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central for this eARC! I mostly listened though, because, duh. Listening to and learning from Sir David Attenborough is the gift of a lifetime! His voice is such a comfort. I’ve been an ocean girlie since day 1 and am probably a marine biologist in another universe, so I was very intrigued by this one!

I loved that while this book discussed many of the heart breaking changes our oceans are facing, there IS still hope. And so much is still unknown. They talked about countless times where animals came back from the brink of extinction or mangrove forest regrew or coral habits bounced back. But it’s just another urgent reminder how much the ocean affects all life on this planet, and we CAN encourage healthy ocean life while still using resources from the ocean. This is not an indictment on fishing or cultures that rely heavily on the ocean for products. It’s a reminder that people, for extremely long periods of time sustainably harvested our oceans. We just need to respect our oceans and all the creatures in it.

It is of course and I’m sure I missed plenty and could reread this endless to just keep learning (maybe I will!). But if you like any doc narrated by Attenborough, you’ll like this.
