The waters off the East Coast of North America are home to an amazing variety of sharks, rays and chimaeras. The Field Guide to Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras is a groundbreaking, comprehensive and easy-to-use field guide that covers all 173 species found along the eastern seaboard of the United States and Canada, including Bermuda and the Bahamas, and extending into the Gulf of Mexico to the Yucatan Peninsula.

Lavishly illustrated throughout, this must-have guide includes detailed species accounts describing key identification features, habitat, biology and status.
