Seashore Safari in The Daily Telegraph
BEACH BOOTY Prodding at sea anemones with spades will take on a new, humane dimension with the help of a brand–new edition of Seashore Safaris (Graffeg, £11.99), a densely packed, full–colour guidebook to everything that lurks in rock pools, scuttles in the sand and burrows beneath rocks, by the marine biologist Judith Oakley. After establishing a strict code of seashore conduct (don’t use a net, do replace upturned boulders, don’t put more than one creature at a time in your bucket) the author identifies different types of seaside habitat, then gives a detailed guide to the extraordinary variety of sea creatures living on Britain’s shoreline. Pack this book and a rainy day at the beach will take on a whole new dimension.
