The Sea of Cortez is a vast body of water located between the Baja California peninsula and Mexico’s mainland. Having a surface area of 62,000 square miles it is thought to be one of the most diverse seas on the planet. So many species live in these waters that famous ocean researcher Jacques Cousteau referred to the Sea of Cortez as the world’s aquarium.

Now the Sea of Cortez plainly speaks through the words of author Michael Woodworth and the captivating illustrations of artist Craig Pennington. The Sea’s message is one for young and old alike and it is too important to be missed.
