Abama Blue Ocean

The first book about this singular marine environment

Abama Blue Ocean dives deep into the unique marine environment of the Franja Marina Teno-Rasca between the islands of Tenerife and La Gomera in the Canary Islands. This area of the Atlantic Ocean is one of the top three whale and dolphin habitats in the world, though its wonders remain unknown to many.
