Marine Science and more, Every Marine Biologist should have a copy

Well written, with an excellent list of references for further study and research. I was able to answer serveral questions in less than half an hour. The alphabetical lay out made locating information very easy. I provided a second copy to my collegues at work in the Environmental Secruity Office at Marine Corp Base Camp Pendleton CA.
