"An essential beachside companion for denizens of the Pacific Northwest. It charmingly and expertly invites readers to become amateur ecologists and breaks down the geology of the coast and gives tips on how to read and understand the forces that support the abundant and varied sea life that thrives from the Southern Oregon Coast to Washington's Salish Sea."
(Sunset Magazine) "Outdoorsyfolks, budding naturalists and sea glass collectors will enjoy this beautifully photographed new guide."
(Seattle Times) "[T]he ultimate guide to exploring different areas at low tide."
(KING 5 - Evening) "The enthusiasm the authors have for their topic is genuine and they share remarkable stories of the dynamic interface between ocean and continent as it plays out every day here in the Northwest. There's real drama here: predation, invasive species, environmental extremes on a twice daily basis as the tides ebb and flow, and eating and sexual mechanics that boggle the imagination. This information truly will help you think more comprehensively about which marine species live where along our coastline, and why."
(Coast Weekend) "This book is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the marine ecology of the region."
