Dynamic Landscapes of Intertidal zone

The harbor and the tides together create a temporal spatiality that affords multiple activities and life concerning time. The tide itself is a temporal entity that has multiple intensities, these intensities are technically termed high tide and low tide.

These intensities shape the influx and efflux of fishermen and their daily routines.

The landscape of the harbor is dynamic as it gets shaped during high and low tides. Tide as a larger entity is looked at as a catalyst that directly and indirectly affects multiple activities that take place throughout the day.

​

The drawing aims at mapping out where the tides come from. Where does it meet? How does the tide change the landscape of the harbor throughout the day? How does the space respond to the tides when they meet? how does the intertidal zone afford both humans and nonhumans in the current landscape?

​

How does fishing as the major activity shapes the landscape of the harbor? fishing as an activity is done during a certain time with respect to the tidal calendar which gets shaped by other secondary entities like weather, species of fish, time, and seasons that are adequate for fishing. The tides bring along a lot of life in the form of deposits leaving traces of its arrival, which also shapes the influx and efflux of marine life which meets the intertidal zone and in return creates a dialogue between human and non-human-rocks, sand, and crevices. Hence it creates a dynamic landscape that is never stoic and affords various activities throughout the space.
