Exploring the Seashore

Easy to use, this field guide enables anyone--from beginner to expert--to identify our seashore creatures. On what kind of beach? In what kind of zone? What's that? Kelp or Sea Lettuce? What's that Bird? A black Oyster catcher on the wing? But this field guide is concerned with why, as well as with what. Why do some creatures live on the mud flats while others live on the sand? Why do some animal live in tidal pools high on a rocky shore, while others live in tidal pools low on the shore? Why do they eat what they eat, behave as they behave, and protect themselves the way they do? Observation, understanding, and appreciation do lead, finally, to conservation. Besides a glossary of illustrated terms, this book contain: 9 maps, 24 black and white photographs, 94 full-color photographs, and 285 line drawings. Over 65,000 copies sold makes this field guide a Canadian Best Seller. *OUT OF STOCK*
