From the Book Cover

Fish or dive with this waterproof, boatproof, tear-resistant book. 260 species of corals and fishes are shown in full color with an accurate, easily understood text.

My Summary

A great identification guide for divers, fishermen and boaters off the southeastern coast of North America because it is waterproof and tear-resistant. Besides corals and fishes there are also a turtles, crustaceans, sponges, jellyfish, and other invertebrates, especially if they are dangerous. About the only group of sea animals not represented at all are mammals.
