VOYAGES OF MARINE VOYEURISM

Ned and Ana de Loach

Authors

 Sex is the engine of natural selection. From the curious courtship rituals of frogfishes, flounders and flasher wrasses to mass spawning aggregations of Nassau grouper, join Ned and Anna de Loach, co-authors with Paul Humann of eight marine life field guides. The team has spent the past two decades capturing the portraits and behaviors of underwater creatures on film and video. Their dazzling collection reveals – in many cases for the first time – some of the most dramatic reproductive strategies in the animal kingdom. Their work includes the mating antics of invertebrates like the blue ringed and wunderpus octopuses, and flamboyant cuttlefish, as well as many additional rare sights from the sea.
