TeamSeagrass featured in the Semakau Book!

"Habitats in Harmony: The Semakau Landfill Story" was written to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Semakau Landfill. It was written by our very own TeamSeagrass member, Marcus Ng.

The Team is also featured in the Book! There's some really cool photos of us doing our stuff. I'm especially intrigued by the photo of someone with a snorkel mask, face in the water. Wow! Talk about dedication! I still haven't figured out who it is.
Then there is great shot of the Team at work! Very energetic, forward looking and inspiring. Bravo!Our work on Semakau and other seagrass meadows of Singapore does make a difference!

Looking through the Book brought back many memories for me which I've shared on the wild shores of singapore blog.
