Informative, practical, and beautiful, this inspiring book shows how we can bring life back to the ocean, and in so doing revive our planet. 

The ocean can heal. Here is the blueprint.

Beneath the surface, our seas are in crisis—reefs are fading, marine species are declining, and underwater ecosystems are under threat. But the tide can turn.

How to Revive Our Ocean is an inspiring, science-backed roadmap to restoring the world’s living waters. Written by world-renowned ecologist Enric Sala (founder of National Geographic’s Pristine Seas, which has protected marine areas two-thirds the size of the U.S.) and global conservation strategist Kristin Rechberger (founder of Dynamic Planet and Revive Our Ocean), this definitive guide reveals how we can achieve the essential global target of protecting 30% of our ocean by 2030 (30×30).

Richly illustrated with vivid storytelling, clear infographics, and detailed maps, this book blends visual wonder with actionable strategy. Sala and Rechberger demonstrate how, by establishing Marine Protected Areas, we can replenish fish populations, revive dying coral, and secure the livelihoods and economies of coastal communities worldwide.

Part eye-opening exploration and part practical action plan, How to Revive Our Ocean is an essential handbook for ocean lovers, leaders, entrepreneurs, conservationists, and anyone who carries the sea in their heart.
