by Ernest Ingersoll

The ocean is the largest and most mysterious ecosystem on Earth, covering over 70% of our planet's surface. It is home to an incredible diversity of life, from tiny plankton to giant whales.

He explores everything from the ocean's origins and geology to its waves, tides, and currents. He also discusses the various types of marine life and the industries that rely on the ocean.
