Coastal Life of the Pacific Coast
Adventure Publications, Incorporated (Verlag)
978-1-64755-394-4 (ISBN)
Beaches are the borders between two vastly different ecosystems. As such, they are teeming with a variety of fascinating life. Whether you’re a tourist on vacation or a local resident on a day trip, keep this tabbed booklet close at hand. Written by expert naturalist Stephanie Panlasigui, it 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. It is organized by group for quick and easy identification, and 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.
Book Features:
Pocket-size format—easier than laminated foldouts
Professional photos of each species
Entries organized by group to ensure that you quickly find what you’re looking for
Easy-to-use information for even casual observers
Details about beach anatomy, how beaches are formed, and beach safety
In her home state of California, Stephanie Panlasigui grew up swimming in the Pacific Ocean, spotting dolphins, and hiking on the bluffs with her family. Stephanie began her career as a naturalist, guiding children to explore redwood forests, tidepools, and sandy beaches. She has since worked for many years to help ensure that natural ecosystems are protected, restored, and given the chance to thrive. She holds a master’s degree in environmental management from Duke University and a bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences from the University of California, Berkeley.
