Internal questions are spread throughout the text in order to help the students understand material before advancing to new concepts. The text contains information on the latest research which includes drilling, programme locations and findings, Law of the Sea progress, new data on fish catches and coral reef observations. Real life case studies are incorporated throughout the text to capture student interest and relate key concepts to real life. A new chapter on "Coasts, Estuaries and Environmental Issues" has been added to this edition.
