Field Guide to Seaweeds of Alaska

Mandy R. Lindeberg and Sandra C. Lindstrom
by John F. Williams

book coverThis book is the first and only field guide to more than 100 common seaweeds, seagrasses, and marine lichens of Alaska.

Filled with color photos and clearly written descriptions, and printed on water-resistant paper, it is a must-have addition to the reference collections of any scientist, coastal monitor, naturalist, educator, student, or beachcomber interested in Alaska’s coastal ecosystems. Author Mandy Lindeberg is a biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Juneau, Alaska. In 2006 she discovered a new genus of kelp, golden V (depicted on the cover), in the Aleutian Islands. Coauthor Sandra Lindstrom is a professor at the University of British Columbia and has published many journal articles and books on algae.
