For the past 40 years, Kennedy Warne, one of New Zealand’s best-known naturewriters and commentators, has been exploring the underwater world. His love ofthe ocean began as a small boy sailing and fishing with this father on the HaurakiGulf and was further strengthened by a degree in marine biology.This beautifully written collection draws the reader into ‘this shimmeringworld’, beginning with Warne and his father sailing Marline, the boat built by hisgrandfather, from the Bay of Islands to Auckland. His later adventures writing forNational Geographic fill the book with wondrous tales of the otherness of life inthe sea; the Natal sardine run, ‘the greatest shoal on Earth’; Tuvalu’s wanderingreef islands; and floating with ragged-tooth sharks off the coast of South Africa.Warne has always felt welcomed by the sea and wants to impart that same senseof belonging to the reader. Yes, the oceans as we know them are under threat, butas he travels the waters around New Zealand and the world, Warne discovers a lotto be positive about too. Connection and custodianship are the essential elementsthat will allow us to restore our relationship with our ancestral seas.
