What is happening in our oceans? By describing their main elements, this
book shows how and why the oceans are being transformed, and suggests
possible future scenarios to address this complex, yet often-asked,
question. The ocean is being dramatically transformed, but the magnitude
of this transformation remains unclear since the ocean is largely
inaccessible and still unknown: there is more information about the
outer universe than about the deepest parts of our oceans.
The author, a marine biologist with extensive research experience,
offers a holistic view of our oceans. Focusing on fishing, pollution and
the effects of climate change, he identifies and describes the changes
occurring in all marine ecosystems, and discusses the long-passed state
of equilibrium.
