Taking the original marine scientific research picture book series "Into the Deep Sea" as a case study, this paper examines the practical pathway for transforming marine scientific research resources into popular science picture books. This pathway includes a complete chain of steps:drawing on first-hand scientific expedition experiences, content selection and reconstruction, innovation in expression, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Based on this analysis, the paper distills the key lessons learned from this transformation process. Drawing on the Guidelines on Popular Science Creation for Scientific and Technical Professionals, it proposes several insights for future creation, such as adhering to scientific authenticity, deepening audience segmentation, and embracing human-machine collaboration. These insights aim to provide guidance and reference for more scientific and technical professionals engaged in popular science creation, as well as for the transformation of marine scientific research resources into high-quality popular science works.
