  The species selected in this guide are broadly representative of the enormous number of diverse life forms to be found on the shores of Britain and Europe. Seaweeds, molluscs, crustaceans and insects are just some of the groups described and illustrated. The introduction explains how seashore habitats vary in character and how each type of coast supports a different range of fauna and flora. There is also useful advice on preparing for a visit to the shore and the safety measures to be taken. The text and illustrations for each species appear on the same page for easy reference.
