Hopefully, these works will not affect the amazing marinelife there.
What have we seen at the East Coast?Besides living walls, we've seen interesting stuff on the sandy shores as well as 'reefy' animals on rockier parts of the shores and on hard surfaces.
There were even new records of marine life based on observations at the East Coast! These include surf clams, another kind of clam and snails that live on sea fans.
These works are probably part of on-going efforts at infrastructural improvements which include "converting bare spots on the coastline into sandy beach, the upgrading of Bedok Jetty and park amenities, and the relocating of boat storage areas.
As well as possibly efforts to deal with serious erosion that has been affecting the East Coast.
