There is a growing crisis in our oceans as rates of infectious disease outbreaks are on the rise. A warmer world is a sicker world for humans and wild biota. Marine epidemics have caused mass die-offs of wildlife from the bottom to the top of the food chains, impacting the health of ocean ecosystems as well as lives on land. Fueled by a warming ocean and accelerated by sewage dumping, unregulated aquaculture, and drifting plastic, ocean outbreaks are sentinels of impending global environmental disaster.

I really enjoyed listening to this book! I read excerpts of the book before, and now listening to the audiobook during the current pandemic has been a very insightful experience.
This book engaging and approachable for any audience—not just scientists. Dr. Harvell presents four critical marine diseases that have recently shaped our world's oceans. She guides readers through each, seamlessly weaving her own personal narratives and experiences with thoughtful descriptions of the infectious agents and ecological impacts. Informative yet light and engaging, you’ll be surprised how much you learn about marine diseases.
Understandably, the book has received multiple awards (PROSE Award for Biological Sciences, Ecological Society of America’s Sustainability Science Award) and will surely delight anyone interested in learning more about ocean epidemics. I would not be surprised if this book inspires a new wave of marine epidemiologists.
