Sylvia Earle first lost her heart to the ocean as a young girl when she
discovered the wonders of the Gulf of Mexico in her backyard. As an
adult, she dives even deeper. Whether she's designing submersibles,
swimming with the whales, or taking deep-water walks, Sylvia Earle has
dedicated her life to learning more about what she calls the blue heart
of the planet. With stunningly detailed pictures of the wonders of the
sea, Life in the Ocean tells the story of Sylvia's growing passion and
how her ocean exploration and advocacy have made her known around the
world. This picture book biography also includes an informative author's
note that will motivate young environmentalists.
