How can we stop grasscutters from littering nylon strings?

The issue of grasscutter nylon string litter is in the Straits Times, thanks to Jose Hong. A letter on this has been sent to NParks and the Municipal Services Office. In it, I highlight that we don't want to just complain, but want to help to stop this permanently.

Special thanks to all the people who tirelessly picked up, photographed and shared their sightings of these heartbreaking litter all over Singapore. Please keep sending me your sightings.

Pulau Semakau (South) quickly

A quick check on the mangroves, corals and seagrasses at Pulau Semakau today. On a rainy evening close to sunset.

I noticed some signs of bleaching and stress among the corals. I also had a quick look through the mangroves and revisited some rare trees there.

Our Crazy Rich Shores: St Jonh's Island

Just 15 minutes from Singapore's main business district by water taxi, are crazy rich shores of St John's Island.

The cluster of Kusu, Lazarus and St. John's Islands has been recommended by the Singapore Blue Plan 2018 for elevated protection status.

Our Crazy Rich Shores: Pulau Jong

Pulau Jong is among our last untouched islands; it has not been reclaimed or developed. This is what our Southern Islands used to look like.

As part of the cluster around Pulau Semakau, Pulau Jong has been recommended by the Singapore Blue Plan 2018 for Immediate Conservation Priority.
