Field Identification Guides

There's a mind-boggling array of animal species in the world's oceans, and we've got some books to help you figure out what some of them are. These durable, water-resistant field guides include drawings and color photos along with clearly written descriptions of marine mammals, sea turtles, flatfishes, rockfishes, seaweeds and more. The books are great for use aboard recreational, charter, and commercial fishing vessels, and in seafood processing plants, nature centers, zoos and aquariums, classrooms, home libraries, and wherever else there are people who want to learn more about animals of the sea.
