Many thanks to my friends Sejal Mehta, Shaunak Modi and Abhishek Jamalabad for introducing me to shore wildlife. Follow Marine Life of Mumbai for the best database on shore life in India.

Comic from my column with Sunday Mid-Day.

A Cartoon about Plankton

I wonder how any amount of plankton is ever enough to make a whale not feel hungry!

Plankton are tiny aquatic organisms which include drifting animals, protists, archaea, algae or bacteria. While most of them are microscopic, they may also contain large organisms such as jellyfish, and are usually defined by their ecological niche rather than phylogeny or taxonomy. Planktons form important sources of food to large aquatic animals such as fish and whales.
