Seaweeds: An exciting range covering the Sub-tidal fringe (below Low Water Spring Tide), through Lower, Mid and Upper Inter-tidal zones to High Water Spring Tide.  The reproduction and uses of seaweeds are well covered as is the role of seaweeds in the marine environment.  Commonly found Green, Brown and Red seaweeds are covered.  There is no doubt that one will obtain great pleasure identifying seaweeds whilst balancing on the edge of a pool.

The Fore and Rear dune plants section is equally fascinating and will particularly appeal to those living just behind the dunes.  An array of flora from beach dune to coastal forest are depicted enabling quick identification for rehabilitation and your dune garden.  No excuses now as you feast over the pages covering dune scrub, grasses, the colourful Marguerite, Vygies, Gazania and so many more;  creepers and the magnificent coastal aloes & Red-hot Pokers, shrubs, the renowned Natal Wild Banana and the hardy coastal trees including the beautiful Coast Red-milkwood, the Natal Guarrie and the Lagoon Hibiscus.  Specifications for all plants in this book can be found in Pooley’s Trees of eastern South Africa by Richard Boon and Wild flowers of KwaZulu- Natal and the Eastern Region by Elsa Pooley.
