From the Introduction: "Most of what is contained in this collection describes those five miles of ocean water close to land. You will find very little emoting about such things as a boundless sea, the wonder of the ocean wilderness, or the spirits of the deep. Rather here are encounters with living creatures, notes about small bodies of water, descriptions of tidal rivers and coastal ponds. Also here are comments on the impacts that humankind is having on marine life and its coastal habitat." 311 pages. LF.
