About this title

Synopsis

Save The Bay's Uncommon Guide to Common Life of Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island Coastal Waters serves as a bridge between the people who use and enjoy Narragansett Bay and some of the more common plants, invertebrates, fish, birds and marine mammals that share our Bay. This 2nd edition (with 171 pen and ink illustrations, plus 8 pages of color photos) reflects the expanded scope of Save The Bay's work - we have moved from a focus on Narragansett Bay itself to the whole region, including the unique and intimately connected freshwater tributaries and coastal marine waters of Rhode Island. Each plant or creature has its own entry with a beautiful illustration and a text description. Save The Bay's Uncommon Guide is an educational tool for both children and adults to use for learning about Narragansett Bay.
