WILD OCEAN: A Journey to the Earth’s Last Wild Coasts published by Thames & Hudson is a fascinating book written and photographed by acclaimed wildlife photographers Peter and Beverly Pickford, authors of the bestselling WILD LAND (2018), WILD OCEAN. It captures some of the earth’s remaining wild marine environments and shorelines in magnificent images, at a time where overfishing, overuse, pollution, and global warming have plunged much of the world’s oceans into despair.

The untouched marine habitats and dynamic coastal habitats pictured in this oversized book include South Africa’s Transkei Wild Coast, the Seychelles, Australia’s Ningaloo Coast, the icy waters of Alaska and British Columbia’s southwest coast, the Galápagos Islands, the South Pacific’s Coral Triangle, the Arctic, and South Georgia Island and Antarctica. With fascinating texts that detail the photographers’ unbelievable journey through some of the planet’s most pristine waters, WILD OCEAN issues a vital call to action: that we must all play a part in protecting these wild oceans for the sake of their future—and ours.

This is a perfect holiday gift.
