Hi Simon,

I would suggest Robert Bailey's "Ecoregions: The Ecosystem Geography of the
Oceans and Continents" published by Springer and/or Longhurst's "Ecological
Geography of the Sea."

These both give a single line for the boundaries but recognize explicitly
that the boundary shifts on a variety of time-scales.

Best,  Ken

Subject: coastal boundaries of marine climatic zones

Dear listers,

Can anyone recommend a reference which gives positions for the boundaries
between the major climatic marine regions of the world e.g the position of
the boundary between tropical and subtropical waters along the west African
coast. As there is some seasonal variation involved perhaps a range of
positions would be more useful.

Thanks,

Simon
