Description: From muddy estuary to tangled kelp forest, the shorelines that fringe Earth's oceans teem with some of the planet's most diverse plant and animal life. With gorgeous, color illustrations, and informative diagrams, this book offers a comprehensive look at the variety of animals that make their homes along the ocean's shore, while also exploring the steps we can take to preserve their at-risk habitats. Fact-filled sidebars will intrigue reluctant readers, and writing prompts will encourage students to engage with the topic and offer material for discussion.
