A state-of-the-art photographic identification guide to Europe's
whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals
This cutting-edge photographic identification guide to Europe's sea
mammals--the only such guide of its kind--covers the 39 species of
whales, dolphins and porpoises and 9 species of seals found in the
region, which spans the eastern Atlantic from Iceland to Macaronesia,
and the Mediterranean, Caspian and Baltic seas. Written and illustrated
by a team of professional tour guides with extensive experience
presenting the region's sea mammals, the guide features more than 180
color photographs, maps and graphics, highlights key identification
features and includes information on the range, ecology, behaviour and
conservation status of each species. Produced with the marine
conservation charity ORCA, the book presents mapping data from a decade
of surveys, which shows both current distribution and changes over time.
Europe's Sea Mammals is an essential companion for whale watchers and
anyone else who is interested in this enigmatic group of mammals.
