"The Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California, is framed by the Mexican mainland states of Sonora and Sinaloa and the peninsula states of Northern and Southern Baja California. Once called the Vermillion Sea, its long, narrow shape results in tidal extremes that provide a unique home for a rich diversity of marine life. Its beautiful water sustains those who live along its shores, entices tourists from all over the world, and beckons marine scientists to discover its secrets."--BOOK JACKET. |
