30 Aug (Thu): Siti to speak on seagrasses at Green Drinks

Seagrass is more than just green stuff in the sea!

Seagrasses at Changi Beach!

Learn about the vital role seagrasses play in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems, the changing face of seagrass landscapes in Singapore and it’s potential for combating climate change.

Cyrene Reef (5 Aug 2012)

TeamSeagrass celebrates National Day early on Cyrene Reef!

What better way to do so than on this amazing reef with vast seagrass meadows studded with lots of big Knobbly sea stars (Protoreaster nodosus)!

Sentosa (20 Jul 2012)

Well before dawn, a small team headed out to find out how the seagrass meadows at Sentosa's natural shores are doing.

How nice to have Rae of Rasa Sentosa and Shao Wei of Sentosa Leisure Group help out with TeamSeagrass monitoring today. I did this alone in Oct 2011.

Labrador (6 Jul 2012)

Siti and I monitor the seagrasses at Labrador early this morning.

Labrador is one of the last few shores on the mainland with good growths of seagrasses, and it has been affected by the massive reclamation for the new Pasir Panjang container terminal (seen on the horizon in this photo).

Singapore's dugongs featured in the Seagrass-Watch magazine!

Singapore has dugongs! There are signs of them on many of our seagrass meadows, from Chek Jawa to Cyrene Reef and more!

seen during TeamSeagrass' first monitoring session.

Recent signs of dugongs in Singapore since 2007 to just a few months ago are featured in the mammoth issue of the Seagrass-Watch magazine a double cover, flipped edition, Issue 45 + 46 June 2012 which features Dugongs and Manatees!
