The MIT Sea Grant "Hitchhiker's Guide to Exotic Species" is a field guide for beachcombers, students and other interested citizens. The guide contains color photographs and identification information on several introduced species and a few native species (for comparison). It may be used simply for information, or to help track the spread of invasive species.
