"It's unlikely that a diver, beachcomber, or intertidal explorer in
the Pacific Northwest will find a marine plant or animal that is
not covered in this work."
—Jennifer Ruesink and Alan Trimble, Department of Biology,
University of Washington, Discovery
"Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest is, if I may say, Biblio
extraordinaria. Highly recommended."
—Catherine Dook, Boat Journal
"This volume should be on every coffee table in the province. The
most comprehensive photographic collection of Pacific Northwest
marine life ever published."
—Christine Scott, North Island MidWeek
"It's easy to get carried away with superlatives, but the depth and
range of material in Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest is
unprecedented and the photographs (1,700 and counting) are superb!
This book pushes our appreciation and understanding of West Coast
marine invertebrates to an entirely new level."
--David Rahn, Western Mariner
"Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest is the most comprehensive
collection of photographs of Pacific Northwest marine life ever
published. It is designed to allow the reader to recognize
virtually any coastal organism that might be encountered from
southern Alaska to central California - from sea lettuces and
feather boa kelp to the leopard ribbon worm, Pacific red octopus,
spiny-thigh sea spider and gutless awning-clam. Each species is
identified with photographs and includes a description with
information on range, habitat, appearance, and behaviour.""
