A field guide to coral reefs of the Caribbean and Florida

a guide to the common invertebrates and fishes of Bermuda, the Bahamas, southern Florida, the West Indies, and the Caribbean coast of Central and South America

Designed for snorkelers and SCUBA divers. Describes Caribbean and Florida coral reefs and trains the reader to identify most common species. Includes fishes, snails, exotic animals and plants and individual coral species. Unusual for a Peterson Field Guide in that it contains chapters that describe habitats, such as ecological zones of the reef. Explains the effects on coral distribution of environmental fluctuations, such as global warming and shoreside construction.
Over 500 species covered; 400 illustrations including 113 spectacular color photographs. Often used as a text for tropical marine biology classes.
