Over 25 years in the making, Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest: A Photographic Encyclopedia of Invertebrates, Seaweeds and Selected Fishes is the most comprehensive photographic reference on Northwest marine life ever produced. With over 1,700 colour photographs of over 1,400 saltwater plants and animals, it is an essential addition to any natural history library. It is designed to allow the reader to recognize virtually any coastal organism that might be commonly encountered from southern Alaska to central California - from sea lettuces and feather boa kelp through to the leopard ribbon worm, Pacific red octopus, spiny-thigh sea spider and gutless awning-clam. Each species is identified by one or more photographs with an accompanying description of range, habitat, appearance and behaviour. Some of the species included in this volume have never before been featured in print. Colour-coded for easy navigation and including a quick reference guide, map, glossary and index, Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest: A Photographic Encyclopedia of Invertebrates, Seaweeds and Selected Fishes is a must-have for serious biologists, scuba divers, beachcombers or anyone interested in marine life and beautiful underwater photography.
