Photographic exploration of the tidepools of the Pacific coast, from Baja California to as far north as southeast Alaska. The photographs portray the diversity of life along one of the world's most spectacular coastlines. Accompanying text and captions describe signs of ecological relationships and processes, helping the seashore explorer to appreciate ecological interactions and their consequences. The text delves into the roles of competition, predation, reproduction, natural variation in space and time, and colour that characterize this ecosystem.
