Seabed Survey (21 Mar 2013)

More treasures from the deep are unearthed by volunteers during another survey of the bottom of Singapore's sea! Like this pretty pebble crab with a sharp pointy butt.

Thanks to Rene Ong, we get a glimpse of some of the animals found and the volunteers that make the survey possible.

Seabed Surveys (January 2013)

Singapore's seabed is NOT dead and lifeless! Here's some of the amazing marine life found during the surveys of the bottom of our seas in January conducted by the Mega Marine Survey.

New lab sessions for sign up: Jan-Jul 2012

Your help is needed in the laboratory to sort out what we have found on our surveys! You do not need to have any training to join us in these sessions, there will be staff to guide you in the labs.

As Dr Tan Koh Siang showed during a Dialogue Session, we often have to take a much closer look to identify what we have found. So far, only 10% of our finds have been sorted out! Volunteers are needed to sort out invertebrates, fishes and tiny creatures. Here's what happens at a lab session.

Lab session (8 Oct 2011)

Volunteers are back in the lab, working on the marvellous marine life we discovered on our earlier mudflat surveys!

Thanks once again to Rene Ong, for sharing photos and a glimpse of what happened!

Lab Session (30 Sep 2011)

Thanks to Rene Ong, we have a glimpse of the fascinating work done at the recent laboratory session of the Survey.

Here's the volunteers all ready to do some serious lab work!

First lab session (5 Sep 2011)

A very small team arrive on St. John's Island to participate in the first laboratory session of the Survey!

We are very excited to get started!

So far, only 10% of our finds have been sorted out! Volunteers are needed to sort out invertebrates, fishes and tiny creatures. Each lab session will last about 2-3 hours. If there is interest, volunteers can also learn to help in specimen preparation. For example, to identify worms, their tiny hairs have to be prepared. For snails, their teeth.

Here's more about the lab sessions in Jonathan's email.
