Few of the ocean's creatures evoke such fear, loathing and curiosity as sharks, but when most people think of sharks, they think of the Great Barrier Reef or the warm waters of the tropics. Few realize that the cool waters of the Pacific Northwest are frequented by 18 species of shark, ranging from the pint-sized spiny dogfish to the gargantuan 10-metre basking shark, the world's second largest fish. With changing ocean patterns, warm water sharks such as the great white are also making increasing incursions into northern waters. In this authoritative book, Dr. De Maddalena and his co-authors for the first time detail the surprising abundance of sharks in waters off the northwest coast.
