It was a good introductory level entry into marine life. The target audience (imo) is the average person who is slightly interested in learning about the vast range of oceanic life.

I personally didn't learn anything new, so I would say that if you've gone into biology (either as an undergrad or as a pre-established interest in nonfiction reading) you likely won't walk away with any new information. However that being said, I enjoyed my couple of hours of reading and the photographs are stunning.
