Анотація: The world’s great ocean – actually one continuous, interlocking sea – floods seven-tenths of the globe and shelters a rich array of fragile kingdoms. An astounding spectrum of marine creatures – mammals, fishes, crustaceans, mollusks – inhabits these diverse ecosystems. With the aid of diving equipment ranging from snorkels and face masks to small submersibles, a team of seven authors slips below the surface of the sea to explore the spectacular communities of life in The Ocean Realm.
