This cutting-edge photographic identification guide to Europe's sea mammals, the only such guide of its kind, covers the 41 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises and 9 species od seals found in the region, which spans the eastern Atlantic from Iceland to Macaronesia, and the Mediteranean, Caspian and Baltic Seas, and just outside - south to Cape Verde and north to Svalbard. Written and illustrated by a team of professional tour guide with extensive experience of introducing people to the region's sea mammals, the guide features more than 450 colour photographs, maps and graphics. It highlights key identification features and includes information on the range, ecology, behaviour and conservation status of each species. Produced in association with the marine conservation charity ORCA, the book makes use of mapping data from a decade of surveys, which shows the latest known distributions.
Europe's Sea Mammals is an essential companion for whale watchers and anyone else who is interested in this enigmatic group of mammals.
