The problem: I’m petrified of deep water. So my only fix for a curiosity about majestic sea creatures is through nature documentaries and books about ocean life. That’s fine by me, because in the last few years, a slew of incredible, unique books on the subject have been published. These books about ocean life aren’t textbooks showcasing each species under the sea. They’re deep, thought-provoking texts about how some of the world’s greatest creatures are still mysteries to us, how humans are interrupting their communication, and how climate change and pollution are ruining their homes. These books are written by people who have devoted their lives to studying — and saving — the ocean. If you’re looking for more like this, check out these ocean books for kids and books about whales. Alternatively, scare yourself with some horror books about the ocean.
