A week of work beneath the waves

Presented as a marine biologist’s diary, the book introduces ocean science through a week of research and discoveries. Its topics range from whale monitoring and clownfish hatcheries to the color-changing communication of giant cuttlefish and the discovery of a sea snake species. It also considers human efforts to build reefs to protect marine life, alongside surfing as a way to learn about waves and the ocean. The diary structure connects facts about sea creatures and marine habitats with examples of how scientists study and interact with the watery world.

  • Whale monitoring and how these enormous creatures talk to each other
  • How clownfish populations are increasing with the help of hatcheries
  • How giant cuttlefish are the chameleons of the sea and communicate by changing their skin color
  • Discovering a new species of sea snakes
  • How humans are building reefs to help protect diverse marine life from extinction
  • How surfing teaches us to ride the waves and understand the ocean
