about the gallery

Sea sponges, slugs and even the odd octopus or sea horse can be found along Mumbai’s coast, hidden from plain sight just until the tide retreats revealing the intertidal pools teeming with unique forms of marine life. HT photojournalist Pratik Chorge travelled along the city coastline, which stretches from Colaba in the south to Madh-Marve in the north, uncovering the city's colourful marine treasures. He was accompanied by a couple of marine enthusiasts who have founded the group Marine Life of Mumbai.
