Sam and Crystal's coastal adventure continues as brother and sister dive deeper into the marine habitats of Eagle Cove. In their third story, the kids learn about one of the most important ecosystems on the West Coast: the eelgrass meadow. This rich habitat provides food and shelter to countless marine critters, from tiny microorganisms to juvenile fish, and is the basis of a large food web that includes salmon, mink, black bears and humpback whales. Combining an entertaining story with gorgeous imagery and the author's scientific background and extensive work with Indigenous Elders and educators, Explore the Eelgrass Meadow with Sam and Crystal brings the coastline to life.

Industry Reviews

"Dr. Snively captures the wonder and excitement of the rich eelgrass meadow and associated ocean ecosystems. Seen through the eyes of two delightful, curious children, the biological wonders of this habitat are interpreted by a marine biologist, a fisherman uncle, a First Nations Elder, and even a small, wise, and perceptive fish. Beautifully illustrated by Karen Gillmore, scientifically accurate, and fun to read, this story of the ocean coast and all its relationships will captivate children and adults alike." - Dr. Nancy Turner, ethnobotanist
"A special story that will whet young people's curiosity about the very special ecosystem of native eelgrass in the Pacific Northwest." - Nikki Wright, Executive Director, SeaChange Marine Conservation Society
"Gloria Snively and Karen Gillmore do it again, bringing fascinating, detailed information about eelgrass meadows and the mysteries and value of our oceans to youth of all ages. Respect, equality, sustainable use, and conservation are all wrapped up in the words and pictures of the working west coast." - Dr. Joachim Carolsfeld, World Fisheries Trust
