To the casual visitor, the Gulf of Mexico shores offer mainly sun,
sand, and sea. Even the standard field guides, focused on one group
of animals or plants, barely hint at the wealth and diversity of
habitats and species along Gulf shores. Shore Ecology of the Gulf
of Mexico, using a "whole habitat" approach, breaks new ground in
describing all the conspicuous vascular plants, algae, birds,
mammals, mollusks, crustaceans, and other invertebrates for each
marine habitat. The area covered begins west of the Mississippi
delta in Louisiana and follows the shores west and south to the
Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Transitions between habitats also
receive detailed treatment. The authors discuss changes in flora
and fauna that result from differences in climate, shore geology,
and patterns of precipitation in the succeeding habitats along the
Gulf rim. They include discussion of more than 1,000 species of
plants and animals, both on shore and in the near-shore subtidal
zone, to give a virtually complete picture of western Gulf coast
ecosystems. Excellent line drawings and photographs of over 800
species complement the text. For marine scientists, students, and
knowledgeable beachcombers, this is a thorough source on Gulf coast
marine life.
