Sponges
Author: Lisa Goudie
Publisher: Museum Victoria
ISBN: 0980381398
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
We might think of sponges as bathroom objects but the real living animals are far more interesting. They come in all shapes and sizes, occur in all oceans of the world, and have amazing lives. Sponges have lived in our oceans for 600 million years. Ancient forms even built reefs bigger than the Great Barrier Reef. Today, sponges help clean our oceans, are experts are chemical warfare and can rebuild themselves after being torn apart. Some even live for 2000 years. There is still much to learn about the diversity and biology of sponges in southern Australian waters, with many species still waiting for formal scientific description. This guide introduces naturalists, beachcombers, divers and others to sponge species commonly encountered in southern Australia.

An Introduction to Marine Life
Author: Robin Wilson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Marine animals
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Is that white growth a coral? Is it an animal or a plant? What is the difference between a shrimp and a prawn? These and many other common questions reveal our lack of familiarity with the seas. For many, their first experience of marine environments is amazement at the bewildering variety of life in the oceans. Sea anemones and corals, sea stars and sea urchins, octopuses and squids are just a few marine creatures that we never encounter on land or in fresh water. Many other creatures are even less familiar, and it is often difficult for those interested in marine life to learn more about them. The examples selected here focus on Victoria and on southern Australia. The emphasis is on animals and plants that are commonly seen by divers, snorkellers, beachcombers and by anyone with an interest in marine life.
