Secrets of the sea

$8.50

The sea has lots of different areas to it, and different plants and animals live there. We look at the coast, rock pools, coral reefs and the Poles. We also look at the sea’s different layers – the sunlit zone, the deep, dark zone and the seabed. The sea is vast, varied and vital to life on Earth.
