The Deep: the Secret Life of Our Oceans

Fewer people have been to the deepest part of the ocean than have been to the moon. Even now, the vast majority of this wilderness – which covers over 70% of the planet and forms its largest ecosystem – has never been seen by human eyes, let alone explored or investigated by scientists. Yet our oceans contain perhaps 90% of all life, and the physical and biological processes within it are critical to supporting our existence on Earth.

The Deep is a dazzling account of the ocean’s enormous and untold impact on our lives, and an empowering vision of how we can protect it.
