Sex in the Sea uniquely connects the timeless topic of sex with the timely issue of sustainable oceans. Through overfishing, climate change, and ocean pollution we are disrupting the creative procreation that drives the wild abundance of life in the ocean. With wit and scientific rigor, Marah J. Hardt introduces us to the researchers and innovators who study the wet and wild sex lives of ocean life and offer solutions that promote rather than prevent, successful sex in the sea. Part science, part erotica, Sex in the Sea discusses how we can shift from a prophylactic to a more propagative force for life in the ocean.

Who knew the sex lives of sea creatures were full of such intrigue? This quirky exploration of the mating habits of sea life ranging from sea slugs to giant right whales is narrated by Carla Mercer-Meyer, who adds the right touch of whimsy to the musings the author peppers among the fascinating facts about sexy sea creatures. Mercer-Meyer delivers the informative and often surprising material in a matter-of-fact tone but also communicates the author's amusement with the topics as well as her casual humorous asides. The audiobook includes a section on measures for protecting these vulnerable creatures, whose habitats and lives are frequently under strain from human activities.

This deep dive into the sex lives of sea creatures—from courting to mating, and in some cases child-rearing—proves a hilarious and informative collection of insights and curious tales. Hardt covers a vast array of sea life to explore some of the stranger sexual practices and rituals found in the ocean. She covers these fascinating practices in charming and often amusing prose that will spark the interest of all listeners, not only those who love pop science. Reader Mercer-Meyer captures Hardt’s tone and enthusiasm in her narration, using emphasis and projection to capture the wonder, amusement, and inquisitiveness of the author. Equally important, she has the comic delivery to capture some of the jokes and puns embedded throughout the prose. She also keenly adjusts her tone to reinforce Hardt’s more serious and sincere prose about the importance and vibrancy of sea life. A St. Martin’s hardcover.
