        Canada Today

        TORONTO — David Suzuki’s daughter Sarika Cullis-Suzuki has been named the next co-host of The Nature of Things.

        Following in your parents’ footsteps can sometimes mean taking over a restaurant or going to law school. For Sarika Cullis-Suzuki, daughter of writer and activist Tara Cullis and famed Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki, the family business is saving the planet. “Ever since I was young, I can remember my dad talking about the end of the world,” says the 31-year-old Vancouver native. “He really is that guy.” So when, at age 19, Sarika decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in marine biology, she was surprised to encounter skepticism from her parents. “I thought, ‘What a strange reaction!’ But they knew that once I started researching [the state of oceanic...

        Kingdom of the Tide

        CBC

        An astounding underwater world of bizarre creatures, critical to the health of our oceans and locked in a struggle for survival. It’s a mysterious realm right at the ocean’s edge where some of the planet’s most unusual creatures live. It’s right on our doorstep, yet few have penetrated its secrets. Until now. Twice each day, low tide briefly exposes this astounding world — a narrow band of rocky shore known as the intertidal zone. It’s home to a unique species of fish that breathes air, armies that battle for supremacy and space, and a creature that turns itself inside out to eat its enemies alive. Sarika Cullis-Suzuki discovered this magical kingdom and its...
