Singapore celebrates International Year of Biodiversity 2010
 2010 is International Year of Biodiversity! Together with a few other volunteers, I am running the Celebrating Singapore's Biodiversity blog and companion facebook page.
Cyrene Reef is a special place and I am currently managing the Cyrene Reef Exposed blog and companion facebook page. Drop by to find out why this is Singapore's best loved submerged reef.
Abandoned fishing lines, nets and traps kill continuously until they are removed. A few volunteers have come together to focus on this heart-breaking issue. Through Project Driftnet, we hope to collect data on the extent and impact and work towards a permanent solution.
I'm glad to be able to help NParks in coordinating the volunteers for the exciting Mega Marine Survey which is a great opportunity for ordinary people to learn about and contribute to a better understanding of our shores. The Survey is expected to start in Aug 2010 and last until 2013.
Singapore celebrates International Year of Biodiversity 2010
 Sadly, Singapore's reefs experienced massive bleaching during the 2010 global bleaching event. I am running the Bleach Watch Singapore blog and companion facebook page to keep track of this event.
   


TeamSeagrass is a collaboration with volunteers and NParks conducting regular monitoring of our seagrasses. This now replaces the annual surveys.


I am out almost every low spring tide to document our shores through still photography. Photos will be used in public education efforts: poster exhibitions/talks, publications such as guidesheets and guidebooks. Photos are also uploaded to the wildsingapore flickr and trips documented on the wild shores of singapore blog.


Fact sheets with brief information, photos and links on common marine life and some terrestrial plants too. With special segments for nature guides.


Most of my time is taken up managing the wildsingapore web resources:
