Thanks to documentaries like “The Cove” (2009) and “Blackfish” (2013), we are aware of humans’ negative impact on ocean life, but Susan Casey shows what happens when we live in harmony with it.
Dolphins are fascinating animals. What is it that pulls us so closely to them that they are depicted in some of history’s earliest art? When people spot one of these graceful beings in the ocean, their first reaction is joy; their second is wonder. “My adrenaline surged as the creatures revealed themselves,” Casey writes in “Voices in the Ocean.” “It was a pod of spinner dolphins, forty or fifty animals, swimming toward me. They materialized from the ocean like ghosts, shimmering in the ether.”
'Voices in the Ocean' is led by a series of heroes from all walks of human-dolphin relationships.
