An investigation of a significant stretch of the Pacific Ocean, the South California Bight, which extends from Point Conception in California to the Mexican border. The contributors summarize the physical, chemical, geological and biological characteristics of the region.

This is a study of a significant stretch of the Pacific Ocean, the Southern California Bight, which extends from Point Conception to the Mexican border and out to a 200-mile limit. The contributors summarize everything known about the physical, chemical, geological and biological characteristics of the area, concluding with a synthesis of the information presented. In addition, chapters are devoted to the influence of humans on the marine environment and to the various laws and governmental agencies concerned with protecting it. Because Southern California is so heavily populated and the ocean a major recreational area for its people, the information in this volume should be beneficial to ecologists as well as those who study the globe's marine resources.

Murray D. Dailey is Director of the Ocean Studies Institute at California State University, Long Beach, where Donald J. Reish is Professor Emeritus of Biology. Jack W. Anderson is Vice President of EMCON Marine Sciences in Carlsbad, California.
