Setting up loggers at Semakau (1 Feb 11)

Wow, a sunny day! A small team heads out to set up all kinds of cool data loggers at Pulau Semakau.

With the incessant rain for the last few days, we were braced for a very wet trip. But instead, we enjoyed lovely weather!

Logger retrieval at Chek Jawa (20 Jan)

Today, a small team joins Siti to retrieve the cool instruments she set up a few weeks earlier at Chek Jawa.

These instruments take readings of important environmental factors that might affect health of the seagrasses and marine life there. They have to be regularly checked.

New Additions to Seagrass-Monitoring for 2011

This year marks the FOURTH year of seagrass monitoring in Singapore. Who'd have thought we'd come this far when we first started out at Chek Jawa in 2007? And it's all thanks to YOU, our dedicated volunteers!

To kick off our fourth year of monitoring, we will now be measuring light and temperature data in addition to our regular monitoring protocol. Light and temperature are very important factors controlling seagrass growth and health and the information collected will enhance our regular monitoring data.

Share your photos and stories of Team happenings on this page, as well as seagrass news! Such as Andy's recent find of the rare Halophila beccarri in Mandai and Kok Sheng's sighting of what might have been Halophila decipiens at Punggol. And how bird poop helps to heal seagrasses damaged by boat strikes.
