Renowned for its diverse wildlife, turquoise waters and spectacular beaches, the Caribbean is also one of the most biologically rich environments in the Atlantic – home to 10 per cent of the world’s coral reefs and more than 1,400 species of fish and marine mammals.
Covering a region stretching from the southern United States to the coast of South America, including the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands and Bermuda, Marine Life of the Caribbean features more than 650 species of fish, algae and invertebrates – from trunkfish to turtles and snappers to stingrays.
Each species account includes key information on identification, habitats, diet and behaviour. Further sections on reef diving locations, marine habitats, tides and currents, as well as conservation zones and marine protected areas, are also included.
This compact and easy-to-follow guidebook is an essential companion for divers, snorkellers and underwater photographers throughout the Caribbean.
Lawson Wood is an underwater photographer and author with more than 16,000 dives logged across all of the world's oceans.
