Field Guide to the Seashores of South-Eastern Australia

The types of plants and animals that live on seashores in temperate regions are similar around the globe, but Field Guide to the Seashores of South-Eastern Australia details many of the individual species that are found only in this region.

This guide features colour photographs, descriptions and ecological notes for around 240 species of the more common plants and animals found on rocky, sandy and muddy shores along the coastline from Port Lincoln, South Australia, to the Hawkesbury River, New South Wales, and Tasmania.

This guide will allow beachgoers to learn interesting details about the plants and animals they come across, while also having sufficient scientific detail for natural history enthusiasts and biology students to develop their understanding of these shore ecosystems.
