Monsoon Beauty 2024 Talks

A Tale of Two Tides: An Introduction to Intertidal Zones

Speaker : Samuel John

Join us on 15th Sept, 4:30 PM IST for an engaging talk by Samuel John, Co-Founder of Spiders and the Sea, as we explore the fascinating world where land and sea meet. From mangroves to tidal flats, discover the bustling biodiversity that makes these zones the heroes of our coastline. 🌍 🌍

India’s long coastline is home to vibrant intertidal zones, where the sea and land engage in a daily back-and-forth dance. These zones not only nurture rich biodiversity but also played a starring role in life’s big break: the transition from water to land. Supporting ecosystems, fisheries, and local livelihoods, they’re nature’s multi-taskers. Samuel John’s talk will help you wade through the ecological wonders and evolutionary marvels of these zones, where life itself learned to walk the walk.

This talk is organized by India's Nature as part of the Monsoon Beauty 2024 series.
