Beaches, Bays, and Barrens: A Natural History of the Jersey Shore

English

By (author): Eric G. Bolen

The Jersey Shore attracts millions of visitors each year, drawn to its sandy beaches. Yet New Jerseys coastline contains a richer array of biodiverse habitats than most tourists realize, from seagrass meadows to salt marshes to cranberry bogs. 
 
Beaches, Bays, and Barrens introduces readers to the natural wonders of the Jersey Shore, revealing its unique ecology and fascinating history. The journey begins with the contributions and discoveries of early naturalists who visited the region and an overview of endangered species and natural history, followed by chapters that explore different facets of the shores environments. These start with sandy beaches and dunes and culminate in the engaging Pine Barrens, the vital watershed for much of the states varied coastline. Along the way, readers will also learn about whaling, decoy carvers, an extinct duck, and the cultivation of wild blueberries.
Including over seventy color photographs, the book also features twenty-three infoboxes that go deep into areas of ecological or historical interest, such as the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge or the Jaws-like shark attacks of 1916. From Cape May to Sandy Hook, biologist Eric G. Bolen takes you on a guided tour of the Jersey Shores rich ecological heritage.
