"Sam and Crystal’s coastal adventure continues as brother and sister dive deeper into the marine habitats of Eagle Cove, home of Aunt Kate and Uncle Charlie. In their latest adventure, the kids learn about one of the most ecologically important ecosystems on the west coast: the eelgrass meadow. This rich habitat provides food and shelter to countless marine critters—from tiny micro-organisms to juvenile fish—and is the basis of a gigantic food web that supports herring, salmon, black bears, humpback whales, and many other species. Combining an entertaining story with beautiful illustrations, Explore the Eelgrass Meadow with Sam and Crystal brings the coastline to life for children ages eight and up."-- Back cover.
