Seashore Safaris: Exploring Rocky and Sandy Seashores with Judith Oakley [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

Judith Oakley has a passion for marine life and sharing her enthusiasm for all things marine with others which inspired her to write 'Seashore Safaris'. This book is a combination of identification guide and pictorial account of life on the rocky and sandy shores in the UK. All the photographs have been taken by the author over many years and hundreds of visits to the shore. The book begins with a guide to what you need for a successful exploration of the shore followed by an overview and easy to understand explanation of rocky and sandy shore zonation. Photographs and concise details of marine life found in the two habitats, interspersed with fascinating facts such as 'Did you know as many as 200 different species have been recorded amongst on kelp holdfast?' make this book an excellent ID guide. Judith is a passionate supporter of marine conservation and has been a great supporter of Shore Thing supporting groups throughout South Wales. Raising awareness of the threats to our marine environment is the subject of the final chapter which features issues such as beach litter and non-native species. Whether you are doing a Shore Thing survey or out for your own exploration 'Seashore safaris' will help you put a name to all those fascinating marine species waiting to be discovered and recorded on our shores. --Shore Thing

Prodding at sea anemones with spades will take on a new, humane dimension with the help of Seashore Safaris, a densely packed, full-colour guidebook to everything that lurks in rock pools, scuttles in the sand and burrows beneath rocks, by the marine biologist Judith Oakley. After establishing a strict code of seashore conduct (don't use a net, do replace upturned boulders, don't put more than one creature at a time in your bucket) the author identifies different types of seaside habitat, then gives a detailed guide to the extraordinary variety of sea creatures living on Britain's shoreline. Pack this book and a rainy day at the beach will take on a whole new dimension. --Daisy Bridgewater, Telegraph Magazine
