Description

A lavishly illustrated guide to the seaweed families of the worldSeaweeds are astoundingly diverse. They're found along the shallows of beaches and have been recorded living at depths of more than 800 feet; they can be microscopic or grow into giants many meters long. Theyre incredibly efficient at using the materials found in the ocean and are increasingly used in the human world, in applications from food to fuel. Theyre beautiful, too, with their undulating shapes anchored to the sea floor or drifting on the surface. Seaweeds arent plants: theyre algae, part of a huge and largely unfamiliar group of aquatic organisms. Seaweeds of the World makes sense of their complicated world, differentiating between the three main groups-red, green, and brown-and delving into their complex reproductive systems. The result is an unprecedented, accessible, and in-depth look at a previously hidden ocean world. Features close to 250 beautiful color photos as well as diagrams and distribution mapsCovers every major family and genus
