“Mia” plays in the tidal flats.

For many small children, sandy beach extensions of tidal flats serve as a place for playing, a deeply rooted experience for children from many coastal families.

With simplicity and happiness as described by their parents, this offers a deep connection with the sea as they explore the tidal flat environments.

This illustrates sociological and potentially educational benefits obtained from the tidal flats.

(As some species may be collected incidentally, could this practice also be referred to as "play-gleaning"?... a perspective worth navigating).
