The New Zealand Seashore Guide

This is the ultimate guide to the New Zealand seashore. New Zealand has over 14,000 kilometres of coastline, the tenth longest length of coast in the world, which ranges from sheltered sandy beaches to rocky and rugged wilderness. This geographic diversity supports a wide range of seashore life, all of which is photographed and described in this book. Originally published in a smaller format in 2017, this new edition has been increased in size to show off the superb photography of Rod Morris, and to make identification much easier. Sally Carson's text is packed with information on endemic and introduced species, including sponges, anemones, sea stars, shrimps and crabs, barnacles, paua, mussels, oysters, fish and seaweed. This is the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide available to this country's seashore, an essential purchase for any New Zealander who appreciates our unique coastal environment.
