Abstract

Decades back, at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C, there used to be a regular show in wide screen on ‘Mud Banks of Kerala’—an awe-inspiring event which was given equal importance to the launch of a space mission or an expedition to the rain forests of the Amazon! Mud banks (locally called Chakara) appear in the south Indian state of Kerala in the littoral zones of the Arabian Sea during the summer southwest monsoon and remain calm with exceptional biological production and represent a unique oceanographic phenomenon.
