Dredging near Pulau Satumu has been going on Jan-Mar 2016.

Pulau Satumu, also the location of Raffles Lighthouse, has Singapore's best reefs. Dredging can affect corals as it stirs up sediments which make the water murky and affect coral health.

Any dead fishes at Western Johor Strait? (16 Mar 2016)

As we approach conditions ideal for a plankton bloom, I checked out Lim Chu Kang and Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on the Western Johor Strait for signs of mass fish death.

Dead Fish Alert! Please help me monitor dead fishes washing up on the Johor Straits. Please let me know if you see large numbers (more than 10) especially of large dead fishes (more than 20cm long) washing up on the northern shores such as Pulau Ubin, Lim Chu Kang, Sungei Buloh, Kranji, Woodlands Waterfront, Sembawang, Punggol, Lorong Halus, Pasir Ris, Changi.

Rocking shore at Lazarus

Yesterday, a small team surveyed Lazarus and Seringat-Kias. These locations are now connected via a causeway bridge to St John's Island.

The rocky shore is relatively lively and I saw some seagrasses.

Signs of bleaching at Terumbu Raya

Another sunrise survey at Terumbu Raya where we sadly saw some signs of bleaching although most of the corals were alright.

Alas, the seagrasses are not doing very well. But the shore remains lively with interesting encounters.
