| Contents Notes |
The marginal world -- Patterns of shore life -- The rocky shores -- The rim of sand -- The coral coast -- The enduring sea. We see how the tides, waves, and ocean current shape the living creatures that depend on them. Three main types of environment--the rock shore, the rim of sand and the coral coast found on the American Atlantic coast are studied in detail. |
