Lush seagrass meadows at East Coast Park

The seagrass meadows on this artificial shore appear as lush as they were when I last saw them on May 2018.

And the sand bar continues to teem with Button snails, sand dollars and other small creatures!

Pulau Semakau (East) is alive!

Under glorious blue skies, we surveyed the eastern shore of Pulau Semakau that lies next to the Semakau Landfill.

These natural shores remain very much alive and seems to be in better health than our last survey in Jul 2018. We also saw two Fluted giant clams!

Clam takeover at Changi

Clams have taken over most of a stretch of Changi beach, forming a dense firm mat.

There is also suddenly a lot of Fan shell clams, as well as Window pane shells. But there is still good seagrass cover, and some of the usual animals are still abundant.
