Forty color photographs and 35 drawings serve as a convenient, user-friendly identification guide for gardeners and beachcombers alike.Florida's fragile coastal communities are increasingly threatened by erosion -- the result of weather, rising sea levels, and human impact on the environment.

This new edition is sure to prove equally useful to the ever-increasing number of homeowners along Florida's coastline and to anyone interested in protecting one of the state's most important natural resources.
