| 520 | |a Immerse yourself in the beachcombing experience; the wind in your face, the smell of salt spray, the roar of the ocean; it's an assault on the senses, the perfect tonic.

The beach strandline is also a wildlife habitat, home to a unique community of plants and animals, many found nowhere else. They create a rich and ever-changing oasis of life in the otherwise harsh environment of the beach.Whether you are a seasoned beachcomber, a casual visitor or an enthusiastic naturalist, this book is for you. It will satisfy your curiosity about each treasure found cast up on the beach, be it a pretty seashell or an exotic ocean voyager. • Descriptions of common and rare beach finds, both natural and man-made• Clear photographs showing objects and species as found on the strandline and in their natural habitat • Suggestions for family activities related to beachcombing• A comprehensive account of the living flora and fauna of the beach strandline• Information on threats and conservation measures for the marine and coastal environment. | ||
