Description

"Anyone fascinated by the underwater world will be riveted by the photos in this richly illustrated guide...

Readers can lose themselves in the magnificent environment beneath the sea...." -Publishers Weekly on the first edition of Reef Life.

From tide pools to coral reefs and the open ocean beyond lies a world abounding with colourful and fascinating creatures.

The lure of the life that inhabits the ocean's reefs and open waters is no secret to scuba enthusiasts and snorkellers who enjoy gazing upon this wonderful world through their dive masks.

A practical and comprehensive guidebook for divers, naturalists and ocean lovers, Reef Life identifies the most commonly encountered animals in the tropical marine environment.

This marvellous book features more than 1,000 beautiful colour photographs that provide a window into this magnificent world.

A gallery of over 425 ray-finned fish species, as well as elasmobranchs (sharks, rays and skates), invertebrates, marine reptiles and marine mammals, offers readers an extensive identification guide to the most commonly seen marine species, with detailed descriptions of size, habitat, range and behaviour.

The book also includes: A guide to tropical marine ecosystems; Surveys of global coral reef communities, from the Caribbean to the Red Sea; And a discussion about the factors that are threatening marine ecosystems today.

This updated edition features new photographs, 33 new species profiles and an extended chapter about the state of the ocean and reefs on our rapidly changing planet.

Reef Life is a handy, portable and comprehensive reference in a time when understanding and appreciating the diversity of our tropical oceans is at a critical point.
