Overview
Identify marine life of the North Atlantic Coast with this pocket-size guide.
Whether you’re strolling along the beach, wading across a tidepool, or snorkeling with your family, you’re bound to encounter a variety of marine life. If you’re curious about the underwater organisms you see, then Life on Intertidal Rocks by Cherie Hunter Day is just what you need. With the handy, easy-to-use book, you can identify intertidal plants and animals.
The booklet begins with introductions to intertidal zones, intertidal species, and tidepools, followed by brief discussions of important aspects of intertidal life, such as water temperature and food. A field guide section presents nearly 100 species of marine life, organized by zones/habitats and groups such as algae, crabs, mussels, sea stars, and sponges. Determine which zone and habitat you are in, then turn to the correct section and compare the organism you’ve found with the species shown. Cherie’s professional illustrations and visual descriptions help you to identify each species.
This guide is applicable to the intertidal zone of the North Atlantic’s rocky coast, from Rhode Island north to the Bay of Fundy, including Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Nova Scotia.
