Who lives on Chennai’s beaches? The Chennai Coastal Biodiveristy Guide has the answer
The Hindu
Our beaches are not ours alone. We share them with a host of species including crabs, birds, and mangroves. The Chennai Coastal Biodiveristy Guide attempts to document our coastal neighbours
When we relax on our favourite Chennai beaches, we have very little idea about who we are sharing that space with. Often, the creatures scuttling by, swimming past and flying overhead are not only residents of the beach, but also its architects, having lent a hand in shaping it over the years. Our sands are teeming; but, we have to know where to look. “Lack of knowledge makes a place look barren when it is not,” says city-based naturalist M Yuvan, who is part of a six-member team that is documenting the biodiversity of this coastline and making it available for the public.
