When I am down there, I unavoidably get interested in intertidal gastropods. ❋ AYDIN (2009)

Reading the books like the classic Between Pacific Tides of Ricketts et al. certainly helps, but mostly in an abstract sense; one needs to be at a coast right at the edge of the sea during both high and low tides and to pay attention to the creatures both during immersion and emersion to begin to acquire a slight understanding of how the intertidal ecosystems may have evolved and how they continue to function. ❋ AYDIN (2009)

Back in April when I was in Florida, I did some simple seashore experiments to investigate the behavior of the common intertidal snail Melongena corona. ❋ AYDIN (2009)

Artist Michael Garfield referred to it as "playing hopscotch across illusory divides in the intertidal zone between technology and spirituality, science and art, self and other, individual and collective." ❋ Jason Silva (2011)

Only now am I finally beginning to grasp the significance of the daily tides in the lives of the intertidal animals in general and snails in particular. ❋ AYDIN (2009)

The cardboard box has my old scale and a bunch of containers of all sizes for samples and for use as temporary aquaria for intertidal snails. ❋ AYDIN (2009)

While in Florida 2 weeks ago, I spent quite some time collecting data on the intertidal snail Batillaria minima. ❋ AYDIN (2009)

"While we are surprised at the inclusion of the intertidal area within the Browse Liquefied Natural Gas Precinct, south of James Price Point, on the heritage register, we accept the minister's decision," Woodside said, adding that its proposed development "can successfully co-exist with the heritage values of the Dampier Peninsula." ❋ Rebecca Thurlow (2011)

Last week at the west coast of Florida I spent many hours watching, photographing, collecting, examining and measuring intertidal snails and also performing simple experiments with them à la Darwin. ❋ AYDIN (2009)
