Bloomsbury Green Guides are portable handbooks to the most commonly found species in Britain and Europe. Our coastlines are home to a wide range of animals and plants, some that are iconic sights on beaches and others that we only see when we look more closely. The Green Guide to Seashore Life makes identifying them easy for beginners and amateur naturalists alike. Concise descriptions include information on appearance, habitat and distribution and similar species. Beautiful colour illustrations of all 150 species are included. A detailed introduction includes colour photographs and information on types of seashore habitat, shore zonation and groups of seashore plants and animals. Travel and natural history writer, Bob Gibbons, explores the wide range of plants and animals to be found on Britain's coast, with concise descriptions and colour illustrations of 150 species. A great companion if you're planning a spring walk on the beach. Plus, it offers inspiration for coastal-inspired planting schemes you can try in your own plot.
