Great for Young Children
I was surprised how thin this book is when I received it. There are large color photos on each page and very large print. It is very basic but manages to give some great information in limited words. Of course it doesn't go on to explain "Why?" -But is great to start a conversation and good jumping off point to get children to want to know more about the ocean. Our 5 year old asked a lot of questions before turning to the next page, so the book is good for getting children interested and leaves them yearning to learn more.

Product Description
Over the 10-year course of the recently completed Census of Marine Life, a global network of researchers in more than 80 nations has collaborated to improve our understanding of marine biodiversity - past, present, and future. Providing insight into this remarkable project, this book explains the rationale behind the Census and highlights some of its most important and dramatic findings, illustrated with full-color photographs throughout. It explores how new technologies and partnerships have contributed to greater knowledge of marine life, from unknown species and habitats, to migration routes and distribution patterns, and to a better appreciation of how the oceans are changing. Looking to the future, it identifies what needs to be done to close the remaining gaps in our knowledge and provide information that will enable us to better manage resources, conserve diversity, reverse habitat losses, and respond to global climate change. ...

Product Description
This book looks at Florida's ocean as a habitat, a community of elaborate mini-creatures swimming next to bulky saltwater giants. Drifting alongside these living creatures are inanimate objects--bottles, nurdles, rafts, toys and tar blobs--lost or tossed from cargo ships.They float in the Sargasso Sea or flow with the Gulf Stream, sometimes drifting to Florida's east coast to become part of the sea wrack--the flotsam and jetsam that we find when strolling on the shore. ...

Propaganda
I thought this was going to be a nice book for my elementary school age son.Instead we were treated to 30 pages of mindless prattle about how humans are decimating marine life.I am concerned about the environment, but this book makes it seem as if humans are plotting, planning, and ready to strike any innocent creature in the wild.There are proper and effective ways to inform small children of the dangers posed to wildlife; this book isn't it. ...
