The ocean is often seen as a separate and alien space that is beyond our control, yet human activities affect both the ocean itself and our perception of it. It is not just scientific discoveries that cause oceanography to evolve as a discipline, but also global economic and political processes. Oceanography brings together contemporary writing that seeks to expand our understanding of the ocean. The authors featured in the collection trace links between industrialization and the destruction of aquatic ecosystems, consider the ocean as a living organism, and propose paths for further research in molecular biology, genetics, and bioinformatics.
