About the Author

Dave Behrens has been a marine biologist with Pacific Gas and Electric Company since 1974. Prior to that, he was with the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Although his thesis concerned the reproductive biology of surfperches, Dave has been interested in marine molluscs since his undergraduate days. That interest has grown, and now he is a recognized authority among west coast opisthobranch taxonomists. He has also published several articles on topics of marine ecology and taxonomy in both technical and popular periodicals. An energetic student of biology, he is always anxious to share his findings with others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for Pacific Coast divers, October 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pacific Coast Nudibranchs: A Guide to the Opisthobranchs Alaska to Baja California (Paperback)

This is a great book to have along on any West Coast dive, settling with ease the inevitable post-dive "what was that" arguments. Comprehensive and informative without being unnecessarily technical, and compact enough to bring along.
