Dive into this uniquely elegant visual exploration of the sea
An informative and utterly beautiful introduction to marine life and the ocean environment, this book brings the riches of the underwater world onto the printed page.
In this Marine Life Book, you will discover:
- The major groups of animals present in the sea, the soft-bodied animals the cnidarians (jellyfish anemones, corals etc.), the crustaceans, (shrimps, crabs, lobsters, etc.) the molluscs, (the shellfish and squid etc.), the echinoderms (starfish, urchin etc.) along with coral reef architecture, hydrothermal vent biology, life in the polar sea and marine invertebrate toxins.
- What exactly ecology is, the physical aspects and biological processes of ecology.
- We look at the rocky coast, the sandy shore, the estuaries, the mangroves, the coral reefs, and more.
- The lives of jellyfish, limpets, mussels and many other species, uncovering their often bizarre behaviour and sometimes scary predatory techniques and feeding habits which most ordinary people could barely imagine existed.
And so much more!
To most of us, the marine world is out of reach. But with the help of photography and the latest technology, this book brings us up close to animals, plants, and other living things that inhabit a fantastic and almost incomprehensibly beautiful other dimension.
