AC t i v it y ! The ocean is so vast that this book can only dip a toe beneath the surface: creatures living here have to prevent salt from drying out their bodies; there’s light for only the first 330-650 ft.; temperatures plummet beneath the waves; pressure rises with depth; and sound travels great distances. Yet, this is one weird watery realm.
