Semakau fish farm finally to be removed?

Said to be the largest in Singapore, this fish farm near Pulau Semakau is finally going to be dismantled and removed. More than three years after the farm was abandoned.

Photo taken on our last survey in Apr 2026.

Barramundi Group's abandoned fish farm is located very close to natural mangroves, reefs and seagrass meadows at Pulau Semakau North. We have checked it out every time we survey there. On our last survey in Apr 2026, the farm remains totally abandoned and in a state of decay. Since our Apr 2025 survey, the big barge with equipment and supplies, and floating dorm for workers were gone. Cages were falling apart and derelict small boats nearby. 

Sharing Marina East mangroves with youth leads

A patch of wild mangroves has settled naturally on the Marine East seawall! We shared these with youth leads and hope they will be inspired to bring others to see it too. This is part of Love our Mother Shores: visit baby mangroves in the East!

We went at a high tide (about 2m) and it was still possible to see a lot of things. Thanks to Nasry for sharing about the mangrove plants and their ecology.

Thanks to Jayden for organising the event, and special thanks for flying the drone and giving us awesome views of these mangroves with MBS and the Central Business District. WOW!

Love Our Mother Shores: Help make nudibranchs!

These handmade nudibranchs are given out as prizes and gifts during Love our Mother Shores events: talks, walks, exhibitions.

I need help making lots of them as we try to share with as many people as possible about Our Mother Shores.

You are the person to help us if

• You Love Our Mother Shores and her Babies.
• You can thread a needle and knot it in 30secs.
• You love hand sewing (these nudis cannot be made by machine sewing)
• Have time to produce at least 60 nudibranchs a month.

Sign up here!

All materials will be provided.

I will arrange a few group sessions at a central location for volunteers to learn how to do this. But will leave it to you to make them on your own. I will pick up your nudis when you have a good quantity completed.
