Product description

Review

"The book is a rogues' gallery of the ocean; it identifies through pictures and facts. The cover photo depicts a type of sea slug only a mother could love. Some of the mug shots and their colourful names are amazing...Pacific Reef and Shore is a useful, basic book for older kids and adults."
-Jan Degrass, Coast Reporter

(Coast Reporter)

"The simplicity and clarity of both description and photos make this guide an excellent choice for family outings."
-Diana Mumford, Wave Length (Wave Length)

"When my summer visitors arrive and we're wading at the tideline or canoeing over the eelgrass, I'll have Harbo's guidebook handy to settle those inevitable arguments over names for this or that sea critter. His photos and descriptions will definitely incite everyone to look closely at the ocean's treasures."
-Carolyn Redl, Times Colonist (Times Colonist)

"This is an ideal guide for the scuba diver."
-William Schleihauf, The Northern Mariner (The Northern Mariner)

"Now you'll know the difference between a hairy lithode and a golf-ball lithode, a wrinkled star and a cushion star."
-Dan Hays, Statesman Journal (Statesman Journal)

"I find this book comprehensive, easy to use, compact, well laid-out, and beautifully illustrated."
-Annie Prud'homme-Genereux, BC Naturalist (BC Naturalist)

"Pacific Reef & Shore is the indispensable reference for any curious visitor to the shore and will prove to be a prized addition to personal, community, and academic library collections.”

(Midwest Book Review)

“This is a wonderfully easy-to-use guide to marine life from Alaska to California… I recommend this book; it will increase your knowledge of local marine life and may instill a greater appreciation for the beautiful and fragile environment we’re fortunate enough to live in.”

(Patrick Newman Nexus Newspaper)
