The book is brilliantly illustrated throughout with photographs and text explaining the influences on the shore, zones of the shore, patterns of shore life, over 180 species of shore inhabitants, 10 different shore habitats, threats, the seashore code, safety on the shore, basic classification and organisations for recording findings.

It’s an ideal book for popping into your beach bag this summer, so don’t leave home without a copy of Seashore Safaris.
