The Chilly Unknown

From Oregon to Japan, from South Australia to South Africa, cold ocean waters teem with fish and marine mammals. Beluga whales, sea otters and African black-footed penguins are found in these cool waters or resting on rocky coastlines, where the land and a restless sea collide.

Beneath the waves curious animals such as Australian leafy sea dragons, beluga whales, giant Pacific octopus, garibaldi damselfish and Japanese spider crabs hang among rocky ledges and kelp forests.

These animals, and more, give you a glimpse of  the rich variety of life found in cold ocean waters.  These are the same regions that support the world’s major fisheries, many of which are in peril. Through a better understanding of the animals that live in these regions, you will learn that better management of ocean resources will not only protect marine life but also guarantee sustainable fisheries for everyone.
