San Diego Bay

A beautiful synthesis of artistry and information in describing a complex urban marine environment, this book relates stories of San Diego Bay's biological exploitation and documents the industrialization of the natural habitat. This unique book is an in-depth, multi-faceted study of the San Diego Bay area. Produced by the students of Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High in San Diego, this is not just a field guide, nor is it just a biological study. It provides meticulous descriptions of the flora and fauna that inhabit San Diego Bay. It describes the long-lasting effects that certain human activities have had upon these plants and animals. The students have also collected information on a whole variety of restoration projects undertaken by the government, industry, or concerned individuals trying to make amends. Each chapter provides an inspiring account of one or more of these types of successful activities.Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High is the author of 'San Diego Bay', published 2007 under ISBN 9781888691177 and ISBN 1888691174.
