From the muddy calm of a harbour to surf-battered rocks and open oceans, the sea and its shores are home to some of the richest and most fascinating plant and animal communities we know. The book is arranged in double-page spreads, with each spread dealing with a separate topic. Blue New Zealand is full of illustrations, diagrams, photographs and drawings, and useful for anyone interested in finding out more about our marine flora and fauna. Rather than being a species identification book, it is a visual guide to how our marine animals and plants live, where they live and how they interact. Fact-filled and highly accessible Blue New Zealand will be essential for schools and families. First published 2005. SHORTLISTED NEW ZEALAND POST BOOK AWARDS 2006
