right amount of user-friendly information for 50 Atlantic coast marine
invertebrates—perfect for beachcombers of all ages! <br>
<br>
<i>Beachcomber’s Companion</i>© cards…<br>
• feature marine invertebrates common to the Atlantic Coast<br>
• help beachcombers identify a specimen by size, shape, features, and
coloration; where to look for it; and fun and interesting facts (what
it eats and what eats it, how it hides, how it defends itself…)<br>
• come in a handy mesh bag—perfect for holding beachcombing
treasures—with a special marking pencil for the species checklist card<br>
