Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface and play a vital role in regulating the climate, producing oxygen, and supporting a rich biodiversity. Yet they face unprecedented threats from human activity: pollution, overfishing, global warming, and destruction of marine habitats.

The book is intended for a wide audience, whether citizens wishing to better understand the impact of their daily choices, professionals, or policy makers.
