Description

This practical pocket guide covers 180 coastal species you could see while rockpooling in the British Isles and Europe.

Whether you have been rockpooling since childhood or want to give it a go on your next holiday, Tiffany Francis-Baker's accessible and friendly text introduces the joy of rockpooling and how it can help us see coastal habitats through the eyes of the species that live there.

Each species account includes accurate colour artworks and concise descriptions detailing size, appearance, habitats and distribution, designed to make identification easy and enhance your wildlife watching during visits to the seashore.

A helpful introduction covers everything you need to know to get rockpooling, including equipment, best practices and ethical guidance, and tips on how to explore the coast safely. Tiffany also outlines the importance of seashore ecology and explains which plants and animals you can expect to see at different tide levels and why.
