Pacific Seaweeds (Book)

Sale price$29.95 CAD

This updated and expanded guide of Pacific Seaweeds thoroughly documents every aspect of seaweed life. From species identification and seaweed biology to the essential--and often surprising--roles seaweed plays in the marine ecosystem and our everyday lives. Seaweeds are used in everything from cosmetics to sustainable biofuels. Some species, like kelp, even contribute to the remediation of coastal ecosystems.

Specifications & Features

Featuring an attractive new full-colour design, the expanded Pacific Seaweeds includes updated species descriptions, dozens of additional colour photos, new species discovered since the original edition, and brand-new sections on common shore plants and the use of DNA techniques to discover, catalog and identify seaweeds. It also features several new recipes and an essay on umami--because in addition to all its other uses, some species of seaweed make delectable food.

Packed with illustrations, vivid colour photographs, comprehensive scientific information and further readings, this easy-to-use guidebook will appeal to marine biologists, amateur beachcombers, gourmet foragers and everyone in between.

As Freedive-Harvesters and Spearfishers it's important to remember the importance and power that knowledge gives you. Knowing your target species. Knowing how to differentiate species.
