New Zealand Seaweeds (An Illustrated Guide)

The definitive and expert guide to the seaweeds of New Zealand's coastal waters, New Zealand Seaweeds: An Illuistrated Guide is a fully revised and completely redesigned edition of the first photographic identification guide to New Zealand’s unique marine algae, by the country’s pre-eminent seaweed expert Wendy Nelson. Across three main sections covering green, brown, and red algae, over 150 genera and 250 key species are described. Each species entry includes up-to-date information on nomenclature, type locality, morphology, habitat, distribution, and notes on identification and key characteristics. The book has over 500 illustrations, with each entry illustrated by either underwater or coastal photographs and supplemented by herbarium scans, microscopic photographs, or reproductions of celebrated botanical artist Nancy Adams’ paintings.
