Elkhorn Slough (Monterey Bay Aquarium Natural History Series)

Discover one of Californias few remaining wetlands.

In these beautifully illustrated pages, youll explore a narrow, winding waterway edged with marshy and muddy ground where plants and wildlife find a rich home. Birds, fishes and others gather here in numbers matched by few other habitats. People, too, are drawn to Elkhorn Slough (pronounced slew), where mists rise off the tide flats as the sun peeks over coastal hills, and the sound of wind through beating wings is punctuated by a curlews call. Monterey Bay Aquariums Natural History Series brings you closer to the living marine and coastal communities of the nations largest marine sanctuary, where youll come face to face with some of the more interesting residents. Produced by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Press, these books will stimulate your curiosity and understanding of the natural world.
