The Beachcomber's Guide to Seashore Life
Can$24.95
1-55017-204-2
J.Duane Sept ----This concise, beautifully illustrated guide to the most common intertidal animals and plants of the Pacific Northwest is the perfect companion for any beachcomber - the family or the school group, the Sunday beachwalker or the career naturalist. More than 270 of the sponges, mollusks, crustaceans, sea stars, sea anemones, jellies, fishes, seaweeds and other flora and fauna you're likely to see are described here, and each is photographed in splendid colour for identification in the natural habitat. The guide is scientifically accurate, yet simple and straightforward in approach, and it is packed with extra information on tidal action, different kinds of intertidal habitats, environmentally friendly viewing techniques, and the best intertidal sites in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon.
