Enjoyed a refreshing and thoroughly enriching morning at the Southern Islands yesterday.
Visited NParks’ turtle hatchery on Little Sisters’ Island, where we were extremely lucky to see turtle hatchlings emerge from their nest! Then headed over to Lazarus and St John’s Island just 1 km away. There we visited the Marine Park Outreach and Education Centre, St John's Island National Marine Laboratory, and SFA’s Marine Aquaculture Centre. Also met many Singaporeans there with family and friends to picnic, fish, #jalanjalan, and even free-dive!
The Sisters’ Islands Marine Park is Singapore’s first marine park. It covers the area around Sisters' Islands and the reefs of St John's Island and Pulau Tekukor. NParks partnered JTC to create large artificial reef structures around Sisters’ Island to promote coral growth and marine biodiversity.
Besides research, education and outreach, NParks has also involved passionate community volunteers. Groups like International Coastal Cleanup Singapore and Our Singapore Reefs regularly lead clean-ups of marine trash on our beaches, mangroves, and coral reefs (apparently, cigarette butts are the biggest component of marine waste). We can all do our part protecting our environment by keeping Singapore litter-free.
It’s the September school holidays this week, so why not take the time to explore our parks and nature reserves? You’ll be surprised at what you will discover! – LHL
