Goa to put spotlight on marine wildlife, moots intertidal walks

Among the many habitats that Goas 103-km coastline is blessed with is the mangrove forests that hide in their depths a bounty of marine wildlife. To give people the opportunity to catch a glimpse of this underwater wealth, the states forest department is likely to start intertidal walks for nature lovers from November.

Following the success of one such walk that was held during the 71st Wildlife Week that culminated last week, chief conservator of forestsSantoshKumar said that efforts will be made to replicate it.
