There's massive dredging going on next to Cyrene Reef, which we saw during our last trip there. Here's an update on this in an MPA notice.DREDGING WORKS FROM JURONG ISLAND TO PULAU ULAR
from PORT MARINE NOTICE NO. 161 of 2008 dated 9 Sep 08
This is a revision of Port Marine Notice No 139 of 2008. The working area has been revised.
From 15 Sep 08 to 30 Nov 08, 24 hours daily, including Sundays and Public Holidays, at Selat Pandan, Sinki Fairway and West Keppel Fairway, within working areas in attached plan:
Dredging works will be carried out by the grab dredger “Pandora” within the sectors as indicated in the chartlet. The grab dredger will be held in position by a 4-point anchor mooring system within the working area. The anchors will be marked by marker buoys.
The safety working zone is a circular area of 200-metre radius centred at the dredger. A safety boat will be deployed in the immediate vicinity of the working area to warn other craft of the project work.
Further enquiries relating to the project can be directed to Mr P Bogers, the project manager, at Tel No: 9139 6094 or email bog@vanoord.com
This was the original working area in the first MPA notice of this activity.

Doesn't look like there is a large difference. Also, the end date of the activity remains unchanged at 30 Nov 08.Besides the dredging, there are also on massive works nearby to build an expansion of the Pasir Panjang Port, in red box.
