Underwater Wilderness brings them to life in vivid photographs accompanying informative essays. From Maine to American Samoa, you'll travel from rocky coasts to coral seas, and discover why each marine region has its own unique mix of undersea plants and animals.

Text and underwater photos describe each of the United States' eight distinct coastal zones: North Atlantic Coast, South Atlantic Coast, Florida Keys, Gulf of Mexico, California, Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii.
