Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the ARC.

As I was reading this, I could hear it in the exact tone and cadence of David Attenborough's voice. He has such a distinct way of describing things that carries over into writing. I liked his approach to our changing world; it's realistic about the damage done and what we can't get back, but still remains hopeful that with the right choices, we can protect what's left. It's a naive hope, either. Attenborough backs each chapter up with communities big and small, with the successes they've had with protecting and healing their part of the ocean. I think the coolest part of this is, even as a companion to an upcoming documentary, he's mentioned in interviews that there will be different stories told around the same theme. I was already going to watch it even if it was going to be the same as the book just to see the vivid photography of the ocean in motion, but the slight differences is even better.
