Don't much care the source. Don't care if it's survival in the arctic or the south pacific. Just sort of feel like reading a book of this theme, and curious if anyone has any good ones to recommend.

I am seeking information on what survival kits are available or watermakers or water rations, etc. Thanks, Sue
Hi Sue,
sailingunlimited supply sea and amphibious survival packs for liferaft. These can be installed in the raft at service/purchase or taken on board the yacht to form the basis of a grab bag (or ditch bag) as they are supplied with a dry bag (waterproof bag) for this purpose.
The packs come with waterproof survival instructions and their contents exceed SOLAS standards. Each pack also includes 72hrs of emergency water and rations for one person. These can be obtained online at www.sailingunlimited.net
Through the website, sailingunlimited also supplies watermakers, solar stills ( though the survival pack contents are designed to be adapted to form a small emergency solar still), marker dye, shark repellent, extra rations and water sachets, inflatable radar reflector and cat C first aid kits.
The website also provides free safety information including a suggested list for grab bags and the findings of a recent EPIRB testing report.
One of the previous answers mentions that liferaft have rations etc in them. This is not exactly true; some liferaft distributors/manufacturers will offer an upgrade pack which would be included in the raft when it is closed or serviced, you would in some cases be expected to pay several hundred pounds on top of the cost of the liferaft for such an upgrade (there are different types).
Suggest you visit sailingunlimited and just have a look at their pages.
Best regards, Geoff

I am for serious answers here actually... as in what techniques do they use? I know a few but they are not detailed enough.
The goal is to not be eating by shark or whales. One of the best resources they have for that is they can turn faster and in any direction to try and not get killed. Sharks and whales are more straight swimmers. They can turn and change direction but not as fast as seals and sea lions.
i was wondering if anyone knows anything about people touching sea turtles at the beach and people disrupting them and sea turtle over exploitation
There's a good article in the Sun Herald about how light polution harms nesting turtles. (they keep moving to the light thinking it's moonlight on the beach and they go too far to nest)

Andaman Sea Coral May Hold the Secret to Warm Water Reef Survival ...
Image credit: prilfish /Flickr The Andaman Sea, in the northeastern corner of the Indian Ocean, is by all accounts too warm for coral to thrive. Yet, researchers have found an incredible diversity of coral in the warm murky waters. The discovery, they say, offers hope that at least some species may survive global warming, eventually repopulating reefs now threatened by increasing ocea… Read the full story on TreeHugger
