Beachcombing in South Africa Rudy van der Elst
Anyone who spends time beside the sea knows theres a wealth of treasure to be found, be it natural or manufactured, living or washed up. Beachcombing in South Africa is a friendly guide to the seashores rich pickings.
Short chapters such as Floaters and drifters, Sea-beans, Sponges, Eggs and egg cases, and many more, detail what can be found and how to interpret or identify specimens. Items may reveal links to activities or biological events in the nearby ocean or, perhaps, thousands of miles away. They may relate to human activities, such as fish or bird tagging, or be oceanographic instruments separated from their moorings. Or they may be part of the growing menace of flotsam and jetsam from the planets burgeoning human population.
This book will enhance the experience of beachcombing, satisfy curiosity about finds, and contribute to a better understanding of the life in our oceans and along our shores.
