A young queer science writer on some of the ocean's strangest creatures and what they can teach us about human empathy and survival

Join science journalist Sabrina Imbler on an astonishing journey which will completely redefine the way you think about nature and the ocean

'An astonishing debut' GUARDIAN
'
Reveals just as much about our fascinating, mysterious world as it does about our fascinating, mysterious selves' NEW YORK TIMES

In My Life in Sea Creatures we encounter- the mother octopus, starving herself while watching over her eggs; the yeti crab, thriving in crushing pressure and oppressive darkness; the cuttlefish, able to change its appearance in a fraction of a second; and many other creatures lurking in the depths of the ocean.

Imbler's work weaves the wonders of marine biology with their own identity as a queer, non-binary mixed-race writer. They implicitly connect endangered sea life to marginalised human communities and shatter our preconceptions about the sea and what it means to survive.
