Aviation Park reclamation to spare seagrass meadows at Changi
Adjustments were made to protect seagrasses at Changi from Carpark 6 to 7, in a planned 193ha reclamation to develop an aviation park.
The original reclamation outlined in the Long-Term Plan, was cut by nearly one-fifth, or 45ha. This adjustment will benefit a seagrass area of about 34ha. But a study found seagrasses off the north of Changi Beach Park, Changi Golf Club and Chek Jawa Wetlands are expected to suffer from a “slight negative impact”, even if measures to blunt the reclamation’s impact are adopted. Corals within the project’s footprint and a surrounding buffer area will be transplanted elsewhere before development works begin. No timeline was given for the reclamation.
See Changi shores for yourself!
They are easy to get to, and enjoyed by many people. It remains rich in marine life. More details in "Changi - an easy intertidal adventure for the family".

Recovery at Pulau Semakau (East)
When we last surveyed in Jul 2024, the shore was impacted by mass coral bleaching. We estimate 50% of hard corals and 70% of leathery soft corals were bleaching. Today, it was such a relief to see that the shore was NOT dotted with white. Most of the corals were okay and the reef seems have recovered to its usual vibrant self.
The team found 4 Giant clams, encountered shark and snakes as well as many other interesting marine life.

Recovering East Coast shore with youth advocates
An entirely artificial shore at East Coast Park has one of the best seagrass meadows on the mainland and an amazing variety of corals. The regular volunteers are delighted to share it with the amazing advocates from Lepak In SG and Singapore Youth Voices for Biodiversity this morning.
For the first time we come on a rare super low tide in daylight! So we are able take a closer look at the corals that are growing in the 'corner' of the long seawall that forms the lagoon opposite the canal at the PCN. We arrive at sunrise!

Singapore to study measures to protect 8 offshore islands against rising seas
PUB has launched a tender for a study on rising sea levels impact on 8 offshore islands. The study will gather data through field surveys, will explore coastal protection measures and timelines for implementation. The study is expected to start by 2026.
The islands are Pulau Tekong, St John's Island and Lazarus Island, Kusu Island, Sisters' Islands, Pulau Bukom, Pulau Hantu, Pulau Pawai, Pulau Senang. Pulau Ubin and Pulau Ketam will be included as part of PUB's future site-specific study for the north-eastern coast, consisting of Punggol and Pasir Ris.

Recovery on Beting Bronok!
Our annual survey to this reefy northern flat is bitter-sweet. Like visiting our favourite grandma and watching her painfully, slowly fade away. I feel privileged to have seen her at her best.
Despite the ongoing reclamation works on Pulau Tekong nearby, and flaring at Penggerang Johor, it remains alive. Seagrasses remain abundant as much of the shore has become very soft and silty. The small patch rich with delicate colourful animals seems to have recovered from the mass dying we saw last year.
Today, the team saw lots of interesting marine life including an explosion of tiny sea anemones. It was a relief to see many kinds of sea stars, 5 seahorses (a record for us!), moray eels and lots of nudibranchs.
