The Living Sea

Series Overview

Two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by water, and beneath the waves exists an entire living world, rarely seen by human eyes.

Swim safely amongst predators in The Savage Reef and Killers of the Deep. Explore beautiful and densely populated coral reef in Coral World and Shipwrecks. Study the daily lives and sometimes strange habits of coral reef creatures in Shadowland and Creatures of the Sand. Finally, investigate the legend of the Bermuda Triangle in The Mysterious Sea and understand the devastating toll pollution and over-fishing are taking on the oceans in The Fragile Ocean.
