It's a book with a humming title! The subtitle:"Identify fauna, flora, sea leashes and beached objects" indicates what will be found inside. This book written by two Englishmen tells the passion of this photographer and this biologist for the objects abandoned on the beaches.
From shells, algae, but also bird skeletons or human waste, everything goes through. So you can discover the joy of this collector when he gets his hands on a new breed of crab or the pleasure he has in collecting driftwoods of all shapes.
This Prévert-style inventory leaves nothing to be desired and each"catch at sea" is listed and explained in this 300-page book. Fortunately, each catch is photographed in its natural environment, which allows us to clearly identify them.
In the middle of all this, a small ecological battle is being waged with the explanations on the plastic waste But also the importance of not picking up all objects on the beach. The pieces of wood, if they are very sought after for decoration, also serve as shelter for crabs. Not always taking them helps the marine environment to develop.
This book is both a guide and an encyclopedia for the seaside enthusiast. It can also be consulted in place of a walk on the beach to live the discoveries through its pages.
