At low tide, the waters recede up to five kilometres, leaving behind 1,000 square kilometres of mud.

Friday night marked #DavidSuzuki 's last appearance as the host of the show that was founded in 1960 and which he, after taking over as host in 1979, turned into a byword for #science outreach. Over nearly four & a half decades, he's led #Canadians on a journey through topics as outre as bug sex and animal music, and as serious as the Underground Railroad and the fight to preserve old-growth forests.
