Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth and drive weather, regulate temperature, and support life on this planet. Our oceans are a vast system of diverse and complex ecosystems and natural resources; and the health of the world’s oceans is inextricably tied to the health of our planet.
And amazingly, up to 95% of the ocean realm remains an unexplored mystery.

Basically the title. I grew up in northern California, visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium often. I loved the kelp forests the most. Is there a good coffee table book on them I could buy? Something photography heavy, 100-200 pgs, that includes info about their biology. For example, I have this book on bird migration (https://a.co/d/5cIzijN) which has not just photos but info about different species, air currents, physics of flight, etc. It's fun to page through. Anything like it that is either exclusively about kelp forests or features them?
Hi all, I am a music producer, visual artist, and oceanographer/conservationist based in New Zealand. Most of my musical creations can be described as hypnotic electronic music inspired by the ocean. I've created a Spotify playlist that features all my ocean-inspired tracks to date.
I felt it might be worth sharing the playlist with like-minded ocean-inspired people in r/oceans. The playlist can be found here.

It seems like a strange question at first but I was wondering does anyone know where I could get a map that shows not just the major oceans and some of the larger seas, but every maritime "area"? Like I'm looking for a map that shows stuff like Dogger Bank, Aegean etc.
So far I can only find ones that, in fairness, do show many seas, e.g North Sea, Okthotsk etc, but none that show the smaller or lesser known ones.
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, was just curious as to if this is a thing!
