Floating barriers installed along Sentosa shore

Floating barriers are being constructed along Sentosa, with the western end possibly affecting natural shores at Tanjung Rimau just off Rasa Sentosa.

The floating barriers are possibly similar to those installed across Pasir Ris beach and probably part of overall efforts to build barriers and fences on our shores.

Here's a look at the natural shores at Sentosa near Rasa Sentosa. It is one of the sites monitored by TeamSeagrass.

The construction works cover installation of marker buoys with sinkers and FSB (Floating Sea Barrier) blue drums linked up with stainless steel chain. A safety boat will be deployed in the vicinity to warn other craft to keep clear of the working area.
