Dr. John Ford presents the latest information on 31 species of marine
mammals that live in or visit BC waters: 25 whales, dolphins and
porpoises, 5 seals and sea lions, and the sea otter. He describes each
species and summarizes its distribution, habitat, social organization,
feeding habits, conservation status and much more. Marine Mammals of
British Columbia includes maps of sightings, and pointers on where to
find each species in BC waters. It also contains hundreds of colour
photographs and drawings to help recognize these animals in the ocean.
This is an indispensable field guide and reference book for naturalists,
boaters and anyone interested in marine life.
