The shallow seas around Great Britain are largely an invisible and mysterious area. Except for the scientists and divers who documented their wondrous discoveries during 50 years of research. That wealth of information about what lives on and in the seabed has now been brought together in one richly illustrated book.

The described habitats and the associated marine life are not only fascinating and beautiful but also often fragile. Their survival is essential for the health and productivity of our oceans. But without proper knowledge and thorough understanding of what and where they are, these systems can not be protected.

Keith Hiscock describes the incredible variety of marine life that surrounds Great Britain and, with Exploring Britain's Hidden World, provides a foundation of knowledge for those interested in the natural history of shallow seabed. He explains how findings are collected and organized, and shows what is and how it works. Without too many technical terms, Keith Hiscock with his knowledge of marine biology, diving and photography gives a lively and lasting impression of marine habitats and species around Great Britain.
