Nearly 100 aerial images from helicopter and drone flights taken from 2015 - 2021, along with accompanying text, describes local landscape features in detail including geographic locations and ecological settings. These images have been groundtruthed from kayaks as well as on foot, as the author waded through marshes. Able's eye-catching photographs will appeal to a broad audience, ranging from the general public to naturalists, environmentalists, and the innately curious. Ultimately, based on over 40 years of the author's experience, Costal Landscapes provides a broad view of the southern New Jersey coastline, including relics of the past, natural features, human influences, connections among people, places, and resources, and the effects on the environment of climate change"-- ER -
