Klappentext
Four years. Five oceans. A stunning and unforgettable portrait of some of Earth's remaining wild marine environments and shorelines.
Following in the footsteps of their international bestseller Wild Land, acclaimed wildlife photographers Peter and Beverly Pickford return with a remarkable new project four years in the making. In dynamic coastal habitats where oceans meet land, more than ninety percent of marine life occurs, and most of the terrestrial life that thrives along the shore is also sustained by the ocean. It is an intricate and complex web of magnificent natural life.
An epic study of some of our planet's most untouched marine habitats, experience the Wild Coast of South Africa's Transkei on the Indian Ocean; the vast tern flocks of the Seychelles and the endangered whale sharks of Australia's Ningaloo Coast; the icy waters of Alaska and British Columbia's southwest coast; the steamy coastal rainforests of Central America and Cuba's protected Jardines de la Reina with its 4, 000-year-old corals; the legendary diversity of the Galápagos Islands where its strong, cold currents are home to an abundance of marine and bird life; the deep-water reefs and rich ecosystems of the South Pacific's Coral Triangle; the polar bear realms of the Arctic, and the penguin and seal colonies and whales of South Georgia Island and Antarctica.
A fascinating text details the photographers' unbelievable journey through some of the planet's most untouched waters, while issuing a vital call to action: that we must all play a part in protecting these wild oceans for the sake of their future--and ours.
