Seashores - An Ecological Guide provides an easy-to-use, authoritative
reference to commonly occurring organisms. By looking at the habitats of
the coastline, it focuses on key species you are likely to find. The
book explains how these organisms have adapted and how they are able to
cope with the environmental stresses of the seashore. With over 400
colour photographs, the guide looks first at the physical and biological
features that determine our coast before surveying the variety of
communities that exist on our shores. These include: rocky shores; sand
and mud; estuaries; salt-marsh; sand dunes; shingle and plankton.
