Terumbu Pempang Laut with signs of dugong
On our last evening tide for the cycle, the team surveys this huge submerged reef that lies close to Jurong Island and major shipping lanes leading to our busy container port.
How nice to see signs of dugongs here! The corals and seagrasses seemed mostly alright. Kelvin and Russel flew drones and got great views of the shore, and shark! Alas, it seems the Giant clam here is gone.

Pulau Tekukor doing well
The team checks out Pulau Tekukor on the last evening low tide for this cycle.
Just minutes from Sentosa, Pulau Tekukor's western shore is part of the Sisters' Islands Marine Park. Today, the corals and seagrasses seem to be doing well. We are glad to spot 2 Giant clams and colourful marine life.

St John's Island still alive
A short boat ride from the Central Business District on the main island of Singapore, are the amazing living shores of St John's Island.
Here, there are living rocky shores, reefs, seagrass meadows. As well as rare mangrove trees on the untouched western shore, which is part of the Sisters Islands Marine Park.

Paying respects to our Big Sister
It has become our tradition to survey Big Sister's Island during the Lunar New Year. Part of Singapore's first Marine Park, we did our survey with permission from NParks.
It was a super windy day, which made it challenging to view anything under water! But the corals seem well, we were glad to see the Giant clam and other interesting marine life.

East Coast briefly - with half a Stonefish
A reef has settled at a seawall on the other side of Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal next to the East Coast PCN. While one of our nicest seagrass patches is growing at the mouth of a canal here.
A small team surveyed this shore on a not-so-low tide and came across half a Stonefish, and a whole moray eel. Our artificial shores are very much alive!
