The Oceans of the world

where do we start?

wildlife of the oceans...

One of the most obvious features of the oceans, especially the colder southern waters, is the prolific bird life.
What is birdwatching like on the southern oceans?

various keen birdwatchers, including the world famous twitcher Dr. Alex, on board Orion (i don't think this my photo, someone else on the expedition team took it...steve?marika?)


The best known and loved bird inhabitants of the colder ocean waters are the penguins.

And of course the most famous group of animals in the oceans of the world are the whales and dolphins.

where to go...

In terms of oceans, the richest and most exciting body of water in the word would have to be the southern ocean.

Where can I get a guide book to the ecology and species of the seas around Australia and New Zealand?
