Summary

-	The Ocean is a compelling exploration of the ocean’s profound influence on human history, contemporary society, and the critical role it plays in addressing existential challenges. Sturla Henriksen, a former CEO of the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association and current Special Advisor to the UN – as well as a passionate diver – presents a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the ocean's impact on geopolitics, climate, biodiversity, and the potential for a sustainable future. 
 
Through a holistic lens, the audiobook navigates readers through the historical implications of naval powers, the paradoxical relationship between the ocean's abundance and its inadequate management, and the intricate connections between the ocean and the global ecosystem. From the depths of the sea to geopolitical tensions in strategic maritime locations, The Ocean addresses the complexities of our relationship with the ocean. It challenges fragmented perspectives, emphasizing the need for a holistic understanding to tackle the intricate interplay of environmental, economic, and geopolitical factors.
