| Description:
Much of Dorset's coast is now a World Heritage Site. One of Britain's
first underwater Marine Wildlife Reserves is at Kimmeridge. Add
Dorset's rock pools and coastal waters, the unique shingle bank
of Chesil Beach and the Fleet lagoon, Poole Harbour with its saltmarshes
and islands, the limestone cliffs of Portland and Purbeck, the county's
undercliffs, sand dunes and beaches, and you begin to understand
the reasons for the extraordinary richness of the plants and animals
that flourish along Dorset's coast and in its seas - a wildlife
that ranges from dolphins to red squirrels, from a bright blue seaweed
to the Lulworth skipper butterfly, and from guillemots to early
spider orchids.
Part of an outstanding series of five books examining the main
wildlife habitats found in Dorset. All written by leading local
experts. Full colour photographs throughout. Each book is card backed,
8" x 5" & approximately 80 pages.
