Ecological surveys Biological surveys Data collection Coastal zone and estuarine studies Marine ecology 20th century, early North America British Columbia (Canada) Ricketts, Edward Flanders

Marine ecologist Edward Flanders Ricketts made three trips in the early 1930s to British Columbia, Canada, before publication in 1939 of his Between Pacific Tides, the classic marine ecology text for the west coast of North America. Between Pacific Tides is a highly influential book, widely read by marine ecology students and researchers working in the intertidal zone. These trips were to the inner coast and sheltered waters of the region, where he sampled marine and estuarine habitats. Explored in this paper are details of Ricketts's British Columbia inner coast work, including comments on collection records, collection site locations and influence of survey results, topics that are new to the literature.
