Anyone with a mobile phone and Internet connection can document marine organisms in intertidal areas and add the observations to the above mentioned projects on iNaturalist mobile applications available for Android and iPhone. They have planned tidepooling walks to engage with people as well as document the species under projects called Intertidal Biodiversity of Andhra Pradesh and Marine Life of Andhra Pradesh in the citizen science portal iNaturalist. The organisation along with Green Paw is working towards highlighting marine life and intertidal biodiversity in Andhra Pradesh. “Marine biodiversity is very less documented in Andhra Pradesh and even less explored in intertidal areas,” says Sri Chakra Pranav Tamarapalli, founder and project manager, ECCT.
