Answer and Explanation:
When the author states that the ocean is like a patchwork quilt, he is referring to how the ocean is a highly diverse environment. As you already know, a patchwork is an object made up of elements that are completely different from each other, but which are able to harmoniously join together to form the patchwork. The ocean is also like that, as it is formed by several elements that are completely different, but that come together in harmony.
