The New Ocean: The Fate of Life in a Changing Sea

Bryn Barnard’s The New Ocean: The Fate of Life in a Changing Sea considers the future of Earth’s oceans, the wide, deep, salty waters that cover most of the planet. It examines how human actions may alter them, including alarming changes connected to human-caused climate change and overfishing. Six examples of ocean life—corals, tuna, jellyfish, blue-green algae, orcas, and sea turtles—anchor its account of a changing sea.
