Book Synopsis



The first compact field guide to offshore sea life of the West Coast

Two-thirds of our planet lies out of sight of land, just offshore beyond the horizon. What wildlife might you find out there? And how might you identify what you see? This Offshore Sea Life ID Guide, designed for quick use on day trips off the West Coast, helps you put a name to what you see, from whales and dolphins to albatrosses, turtles, and even flyingfish. Carefully crafted color plates show species as they typically appear at sea, and expert text highlights identification features. This user-friendly field guide is essential for anyone going out on a whale-watching or birding trip, and provides a handy gateway to the wonders of the ocean.

  • First state-of-the-art pocket guide to offshore sea life
  • Over 300 photos used to create composite plates
  • Includes whales, dolphins, sea lions, birds, sharks, turtles, flyingfish, and more
  • Accessible and informative text reveals what to look for
  • Great for beginners and experts alike



From the Back Cover



"Filled with concise information and accurate illustrations, this terrific field guide will be a handy, quick reference for the layperson and serious naturalist on boat trips off the West Coast of the United States. No other useful guides for this region deal with both marine mammals and seabirds in the same book."--Sophie Webb, coauthor of Field Guide to Marine Mammals of the Pacific Coast

"Intended for beginner- and moderate-level naturalists as well as tourists on whale-watching and birding trips, this field guide presents a fresh, new format. Images are nicely formatted and the text is clear, light, and humorous while being informative and scientifically accurate."--Peter Pyle, author of Identification Guide to North American Birds
