Cyrene affected by nearby reclamation?

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

With lots of Knobbly sea stars, dugong feeding trails, giant clam and other amazing sightings, Cyrene is one of our favourite shores. Alas, it was noticeably sandier today. Affected by nearby reclamation? And we also came across large fish traps.

Chek Jawa with signs of dugong

A small team did our annual survey of the northern shores of Chek Jawa. Here, a long sand bar shelters the large lagoon of Chek Jawa where seagrasses and marine life flourish.

Seagrasses also grow on the outer edge of the sand bar. I found for the first time a large patch of Smooth ribbon seagrass. I came across many dugong feeding trails and the usual marine life was still there. Had a quick look at the mangroves which were doing well. Thanks to NParks for permission to survey this shore.

Christmas corals at Kusu Island

Minutes from the Central Business District are the living reefs of Kusu Island!

We surveyed the amazing rich reef edge on Christmas Day! It was great to see the reefs were doing well.

Seagrass stronghold at Sentosa

The beautiful natural shore at Sentosa Tanjung Rimau has living corals, lush seagrass meadows and natural cliffs cloaked in a coastal forest.

This shore is a refuge for some rare coastal plants, and is among the few shores left in Singapore with lush Tape seagrasses with long leaves. Today, they were fruiting!

Terumbu Pempang Laut is alive!

Terumbu Pempang Laut is still very much alive! We saw dugong feeding trails in the seagrass meadows there!

And two Giant clams! Although the corals seem alright, I did see many with pale patches.
