Europe’s sea mammals: a field guide to the whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals. Still, Harrop, Stenton & Dias

A title in the impressive ‘Wildguides’ series, this book is published in association with ORCA, the UK charity promoting conservation of sea mammals. It offers authoritative and timely guidance on how to identify mammals in the field (and sea)! With marine life under threat from many angles, the more informed the conservation movement is, the better.

The only such guide of its kind, this guide covers the 39 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises and 9 species of seals found in the region, which spans the eastern Atlantic from Iceland to Macaronesia, and the Mediterranean, Caspian and Baltic seas. Featuring over 180 colour photographs, maps and graphics, this guide highlights key identification features and includes information on the range, ecology, behaviour and conservation status of each species, as well as presenting mapping data from a decade of surveys, which shows both current distribution and changes over time.

Europe’s Sea Mammals offers armchair knowledge, will add interest to your coastal walks and should be an essential companion to the luggage on a future holiday cruise.
