Beaches are the borders between two vastly different ecosystems. As such, they are teeming with a variety of fascinating life. Written by expert naturalist Stephanie Panlasigui, this tabbed booklet features more than 100 of the most common and important animals and plants to know—from birds and fish to crabs, sharks, and more! Plus, the booklet includes other beachcombing finds—like seashells and sea glass—as well as a quick guide to tidepools. The handy booklet is applicable to the coastlines of California, Oregon, and Washington. Organized by group for quick and easy identification, it offers the at-a-glance information that you want to know. The pocket-size format is much easier to use than laminated foldouts, and the tear-resistant pages help to make the spiraled guide durable in the field. As an added bonus, it includes information about helping coastal life thrive in this essential habitat. [34 pages]
