The Caribbean An Underwater Paradise

Description

A mosaic of microcosms and seas stretching from the coasts of Central America to a chain of islands skirted by the Atlantic Ocean: this is the Caribbean, separated from its Pacific origins by the movements of the Earth and tagged on to an ocean of which it is now the best known and most splendid part. Illustrated in this book are some of over six hundred species of fish and countless hard corals, sponges and gorgonians that populate these waters, scattered around coral or rocky islands and the third largest coral reef in the world.
