The Work
The amazing story of underwater forests! When Alice meets a curious, learned seal on a beach, she does not suspect the wealth to be found beneath the surface of the ocean. Great forests of large brown seaweeds stretch across the coastal plains all over the world, harbouring an unbelievable biodiversity. Alice discovers the importance of marine ecosystems, vital reservoirs of life for our planet that are threatened by ecological disasters and overexploitation.
