Into the Blue: Adventures on the Wild Atlantic Edge

In search of Britain's whales, dolphins and seals. If ever you've dreamed of spotting a whale or swimming with dolphins, you need look no further than our own shores. The UK is one of the world's best places to see whales, dolphins and seals, along with a host of other interesting marine life. We are an island nation and the sea is in our hearts and imaginations. But despite documentaries such as Blue Planet II, and an upsurge of interest in protecting the oceans, the marine world is a mystery to most of us. And undoubtedly the most enigmatic stars of the ocean are marine mammals: 30 species have been recorded in our waters, ranging from the abundant yet shy harbour porpoise, to a beluga whale living in the Thames. In Into the Blue, wife-and-husband team Lucy and Rob set out on a year-long quest to see as many of these amazing animals as possible around the shores of the UK, accompanied by their young daughter Georgiana, from the Scilly Isles to the northernmost point of Scotland. A truly wild family, their wildest quest yet follows them as they search for an orca whale in British waters. This inspiring book will teach you how to engage with nature, improve your understanding of the world, help you to act in an environmentally conscious way, and immerse you in the fathomless world of our most precious wildlife.
