Description
My name is Emma, and I am a marine biologist. A marine biologist is a scientist that studies life in the sea. Did you know that 70 percent of our planet is covered by oceans?
Follow the adventures of a marine biologist for a week, and learn about our magical, mysterious, watery world. Full of amazing facts, incredible creatures, and beautiful illustrations, this book gives you insights into:
- Whale monitoring and how these enormous creatures talk to each other
- How clownfish populations are increasing with the help of hatcheries
- How giant cuttlefish are the chameleons of the sea and communicate by changing their skin color
- Discovering a new species of sea snakes
- How humans are building reefs to help protect diverse marine life from extinction
- How surfing teaches us to ride the waves and understand the ocean
Advance Praise
" Emma's engaging voice vibrates with enthusiasm for her work; each day is different but equally absorbing. Fascinating bits of information are deftly interspersed: a checklist of necessary equipment, a trick to avert sea sickness, stats on ocean life. Bright, stylized but accurate, saturated-color scenes convey a lively you-are-there vibe, while carefully labeled, limpid drawings of sea creatures provide rich information about the environment and its inhabitants. Vicarious immersion in a sea-soaked vocation. (glossary, suggestions for would-be marine biologists)(Nonfiction. 8-12) "-Kirkus Reviews
