6/22/2023 0 Comments Ocean of Life by Callum RobertsThose of us who worry about the future of our oceans could do a lot worse than take up this single refrain, "Listen to Callum Roberts!". Tantalisingly, it is within our grasp to restore the life of the oceans. Roberts shows how we can arrest and reverse the damage we are doing. The Ocean of Life should galvanise debate worldwide. The life they support is now in the balance. Ninety-five percent of habitable space on earth lies in the oceans, and marine plants produce half the world's oxygen the oceans themselves absorb vast quantities of carbon dioxide. Not only does Roberts show how we are fishing our oceans to extinction, crucially, he explains how this directly affects our lives on land. The oceans are now under unprecedented threat. In The Ocean of Life we get a panoramic tour beneath the seas: Why do currents circulate the way do? Where exactly do they go? How has the chemistry of the oceans changed? How polluted are we making them? Above all, Roberts reveals the richness of their life, and how it has altered over the centuries. In this revelatory book, Callum Roberts uses his lifetime's experience working with the oceans to show why they are the most mysterious places on earth, their depths still largely unexplored.
