From Publishers Weekly:

Grade 6-8-Originally published by Dorling Kindersley as Ocean Watch (2001), this book offers informative and visually appealing chapters on oceanography, coral reefs, pollution, and coastal habitats. The very readable text was professionally translated by a biologist. The busy pages contain full-color photographs, maps, boxed insets, and many scientific illustrations. What makes this book unique is the use of human-interest stories to personalize some of the ecological messages. The book also challenges readers to get involved with environmental groups to clean beaches, not buy souvenirs such as conch shells from unscrupulous vendors, and to stay on trails while hiking. An annotated "webography" lists oceanography-related websites. Reluctant readers with an interest in the environment will enjoy skimming through the various chapters and reading whatever tidbit catches their eye. A valuable addition to public and school libraries; recommended for large bookstores. M.O.B.
