Description: A small boat is the key to a new world as it is the best way of investigating the fascinating wildlife found at sea and on the shore. This book is an introduction to the ecology of , the north-west European waters and a guide to many of the plants and creatures found at sea or on the beaches, mudflats and salt marshes of these areas. The sailing yacht is a comfortable base for the observer and when fitted with the correct equip- ment is far more than a quiet means of transport. The Yachtsman's Naturalist describes how to equip a boat and also describes species to help identification; there are colour or black and white illustrations of nearly all the species mentioned. This book enables both the yachtsman and the , naturalist to explore with new eyes the coast of continental Europe, the waters of the Irish and North Seas, the English Channel and the Baltic. Twelve stunning coloured plates - birds plants; fish etc. 33 illustrated fiigures. 66 taxonomic descriptions. Illustrated dust jacket over blue cloth covered end boards.
