East Coast canal is still seagrassy

Seagrasses are growing inside a canal at East Coast Park! Corals are growing near the seawalls at the mouth of the canal.

A small team have a look at these shores in constant rain and find good seagrass growths and other interesting marine life.

Berlayar getting more seagrassy!

With kind permission and company of NParks friends, we surveyed this interesting shore next to Labrador MRT station with mangroves, rocky shore, seagrass meadows and sandy shores!

The sandy area at the mouth of the Creek is alive and well, and healthy seagrasses have spread out in the area. The team find a small Knobbly sea star, the rare Cryptic sea star, as well as other interesting marine life such as octopus, nudibranchs, flatworms and more.

Cyrene seagrass situation worrying

Although it lies in the middle of an industrial triangle and major shipping lanes, Cyrene has some of Singapore's most amazing shores.

For the second time, we landed on the eastern end of Cyrene, where it is rockier and reefier. It was good to see some large corals and that they were not bleaching. But the seagrasses don't seem to be doing well.

Paying respects to our Big Sister (Island)

Once again, for Lunar New Year, we pay our respects to Big Sister's Island, part of Singapore's first Marine Park. Thanks to NParks for permission to survey after sunset.

There are many corals along the artificial seawalls and inside the artificial lagoon. We see all kinds of marine life too!

Special mangroves and anemones at Pasir Ris

Today, I check up on the last large Bakau mata buaya tree on the mainland, what is now becoming an annual pilgrimage.

We also check out the intertidal shores and the team made some first time surprise finds! It's amazing what we can see, even on such a highly accessible shore.

Sentosa seagrass in bloom on Lunar New Year Eve

The Tape seagrasses were blooming on the natural shores of Sentosa! I also paid respects to the old mother Nyireh laut tree and her daughters, all doing fine.

There were also nice patches of healthy coral, although some colonies were bleaching. I also encountered Stonefish!
