Identification Guide for Selected Shore and Shallow Sea Species aimed at rockpoolers and snorkelers, and featuring species and habitats that are on a UK Biodiversity Action Plan. £2.50 per copy.
The 2nd Edition Identification guide for selected marine non-native species. The guide is aimed at marina and port operators, recreational boat owners and all those who have an interest in maintaining healthy and productive inshore waters. £3.50 per copy.

The species in these guides have been selected for their ease of recognition, their importance as species which play a key role in maintaining particular communities, as ones that are likely to be affected by global warming, or that are non-native.
