This brand new,
inexpensive CD-ROM is your key to almost everything
you can see on the
seashore - from Algae to Worms,
with major excursions into Birds and Plants.
Over 500 organisms are presented in large colour pictures,
with
explanatory text. There are also many short
videos.
The CD-ROM is dedicated to children, and they will enjoy the pictures,
but an adult will need to be along to explain and interpret the words.
Here is what is on the CD-ROM:
