Fish and Marine Species of the Mediterranean, a guide to recognize them at sea

Who hasn't wondered about the name of a fish seen in his mask? The Port-Cros National Park answers this question in its guide Poissons et Espèces Marines de Méditerranée. A great find if you visit the seabed at anchor.

This little guide fits in your pocket. In the pocket of the sailor who will have all the leisure to observe the fauna and the flora, in that of the diver when he will come back from his aquatic ballad with Fins, Mask and Snorkel (PMT), or even in that of the apprentice fisherman to put a name on the prey which he captured with joy.

Because that's what it's all about: the guide to Mediterranean fish and marine species is a collection of living species that can be found on the Mediterranean coast. With the 4 colored tabs according to the species (fixed to the bottom, living on the bottom, living near the bottom and living in the open water) we find the different fishes or crustaceans common in our environment.

Each page describes the species with a line drawing and a photo. The text is short, but enough to make you want to go further and get more information. At the end of the guide, an observation booklet is there to collect your own observations. Simply by noting the date and place and a small comment. It's simple, fun and practical.

If it is not exhaustive, this guide will have its place on board to give the taste of observation to the crew and especially to answer quickly and easily to the questions which always arrive as soon as one starts to look at nature.
