Adult sea turtles are also seen in our waters elsewhere. Like this one off Terumbu Semakau seen on 23 Aug 2017
Signs of dugongs!
During a survey of Changi on 21 Aug 2017, we saw dugong feeding trails in the seagrass meadows. We saw this too on our last survey here in Jun 2016.
We almost never see the dugong but one was spotted at Chek Jawa in Oct 2013 during a Naked Hermit Crab walk for families there.
Singapore's waters are alive!
More about our wild sea turtles and dolphins and dugongs on the wild fact sheets.
