Unfortunately, all is not well with the oceans and this time we are the invasive species. Time to clean up our act, which Rachel Carson would probably agree. Check this out: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/02/11/seas-have-become-plastic-graveyard-can-technology-turn-tide/

    Wife got me a copy of "The Sea Around Us".
    
    Two things.  One,  Amy, Carson documents some of the impacts of 
    "tourism" on ecological communities.
    
    Secondly, she describes oceans teeming with life that literally makes 
    the surface boil at night.  Has there been a recent work that more or 
    less looks at these same thing today?
    
    This book has made me much more aware of what goes on in the oceans.  
    Easy to see why it was a best seller.
