Synopsis:
Hawaii's isolation has produced a large number of species found nowhere else in the world. This combination of unusual species and volcanic formations gives the Hawaiian marine environment its distinct appearance. Beginning with a survey of the geological formation of the Hawaiian islands and the reef building power of the coral, this guide to the underwater environment of Hawaii describes many of the types of marine life likely to be encountered by snorkellers and scuba divers, and explains how this world came to be.
About the Author: Ed Robinson, author of Arcadia's Images of America: Summers County, has collected nearly 200 vintage photographs for this volume. Many of the images are courtesy of the Robert R. Keller collection. Keller was a professional photographer in Pineville, Wyoming County's seat, during the 19101914 period.
