Our work is focused on solving some of the greatest threats facing our ocean today. We bring people, science and policy together to champion innovative solutions and fight for a sustainable ocean. This year I've decided to have a focus on our toddler books and activities at home, and am aiming to spend a few weeks on each topic. My daughter is a huge Octonauts fan and has taken a big interest in the ocean and all of the animals that live there. For this reason, we are going to start with'Under the Water' and will be planning activities relating to this theme. Another favourite children’s author of our’s Leo Lionni is the author and illustrator behind Swimmya story with a moral and a wonderful book to read aloud to your children.

The Sea Mammal Alphabet Book by Jerry Palotta. If you have (or know) little ones who are learning their ABCs and who also love ocean animals, this book is both a wonderful tool to practice alphabet memorization while simultaneously learning about some of our ocean’s most charismatic megafauna: marine mammals. From whales and dolphins to seals and sea otters (and beyond), this colorfully illustrated book is sure to both build children’s foundational literacy skills while also building up a foundation of love, admiration and appreciation for our ocean. The Book of Eels by Patrik Svensson. I’ve read many a review on this book that reported that if you enjoyed The Soul of an Octopus , there’s no doubt this will fascinate you as well. In a focused examination of the world’s most elusive fish, The Book of Eels details just how very little is known about the European eel … so much so that for hundreds of years, scientists and philosophers have curated a fascination with “the eel question:” What are they; fish, or some other creature? Where do they come from? Even today, we don’t know what drives these animals to swim extreme distances to the ocean after thriving for decades in freshwater systems. And by the way: no one has ever seen eels mate or give birth. Major facets of their life stories remain a mystery. In this book, Svensson documents the history of the mysterious web that so many great philosophers, psychologists, conservationists, biologists and more have yearned to unravel for centuries, and points out the parallels of this “eel question” to the complexities of the human condition. With beautiful illustrations and interesting facts Simon & Schuster Children’s Guide to Sea Creatureswill be able to answer most of those questions from your inquisitive preschooler that you have no clue of the answer to. I would recommend any of this series of illustrated encyclopedias for your family bookshelves. DK Eyewitness Books: Ocean
Kraken by Wendy Williams . Traditionally the name for enormous sea monsters, Kraken is a book that takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the lives of yet another wildly elusive ocean dweller: the squid. The field of squid science is a perplexing one, and author Wendy Williams is here to provide commentary both on the animals themselves and what we can learn from them about the truth when it comes to intelligence. Also covering other cephalopods like octopus and cuttlefish, Kraken points out the simultaneously unexpected and enchanting abilities of these creatures, from bioluminescence to camouflage and beyond, and what we have yet to learn about these legendary creatures of the sea. We seem to have focused on the life in the oceans so far but this book Oceans Of The World In Color: Marine Life and Oceanography for Childrengoes into more details about the oceans themselves, where they can be found, what they are like, their names as well as a little on the creatures that live there.

Ocean pollution resources available to support the story include: The Brilliant Abyss by Helen Scales. In this book about the deep sea’s elaborate ecosystems, marine biologist Helen Scales highlights the wild fact that the deep sea is a realm we know less about than the moon! When we think about the sea, most of our attention is paid to areas like the ocean’s surface and coastlines. But thriving in the deepest corners of our ocean is a treasure-trove of interconnected ecosystems teeming with life forms we may never have expected … Yet, these seemingly far-removed systems have a massive impact on our daily lives, especially when it comes to climate and weather. In this book, Scales illuminates the wonder that resides within the deep, while also shining a spotlight on the reality that how we care for it (or fail to do so) could have drastic impacts on our planet’s future, for better or for worse. The World of Coral Reefs by Erin Spencer. Did you know that coral reefs occupy less than 1% of the ocean floor, but provide food and shelter for 25% of all marine species?
