Description
"In this book, a blend of personal discovery, adventure, and scientific fact, Collet describes her encounters with whales, dolphins, and seals throughout the world's oceans. Collet conveys the aspects of her work with marine mammals, from the sublime gaze of a whale's eye to the race to save animals harmed by drift nets or toxic spills. Like the teenagers she regularly takes on her voyages, the reader will not only learn about such things as whale evolution and the unusual sensitivity of dolphins' skin, but will experience her passion for the ocean, respect for its creatures, and heartfelt concern about the "scorched sea" policy of overfishing, trawl fishing, and pollution."--BOOK JACKET.
