Summary

Oceanographer Sylvia Earle was the first person to walk solo on the bottom of the sea, under a quarter mile of water.

These frontiers, as Sylvia Earle points out, are our very life-support system. She takes us inside the knowledge she’s gathered from a lifetime of research and literally swimming with sharks.
