Description
Explore the diverse ecosystems found along the seashore with this comprehensive guide. Featuring over 400 colour photographs, it provides an easy-to-use reference to commonly occurring organisms and their adaptations.
The book examines the physical and biological features that define a coast, before surveying the variety of communities that exist on shores, including rocky shores, sand and mud, estuaries, salt-marshes, sand dunes, shingles, and plankton. This authoritative guide is ideal for naturalists, environmentalists, photographers, ecologists, and those interested in the marine environment.
