A YEAR WITH THE SEALS Unlocking the Secrets of the Sea's Most Charismatic and Controversial Creatures

Author and environmental journalist Alix Morris writes of her experiences with studying seals, a species once on the verge of extinction that has been saved by conservation efforts. Narrator Anna Crowe delights listeners with her passionate presentation. She captures the wonder Morris has for these animals, ensuring that listeners are engaged and moved throughout the audiobook. Morris also explains the ongoing tension between seals and fishermen. Known for their cleverness, seals often steal fish from nets, behavior that poses a threat to fishermen's livelihoods. This complex relationship means that not everyone welcomes the seals' recovery though they're an important part of the ocean's ecosystem. Morris makes it clear why it's important that people have a greater understanding of the challenges seals face. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
