Havet omkring os er en medrivende, banebrydende fortælling om verdenshavene og livet i dybderne. Bogen udkom første gang i 1951, hvor den blev en international bestseller, og er i dag en uomgængelig klassiker inden for naturbeskrivelser. Meget er sket videnskabeligt, siden Havet omkring os udkom første gang, men Rachel Carsons indsigt og kærlighed til havets skønhed er smittende, og hendes insisteren på at se havet og dets omgivelser som ét sammenhængende økosystem og ikke mindst på at sætte menneskets indgriben i og ødelæggelse af naturen på dagsordenen er mere aktuel end nogensinde.
