Mega Marine Survey at the Biodiversity of Singapore Symposium III

Jonathan shared more about our work during the Biodiversity of Singapore Symposium III.

It was great that the more than 300 people who attended the event learnt more about Singapore's marine biodiversity and the work being done with the Survey!

Mandai mangroves (9 Sep 2011)

A large team of volunteers headed out today for another muddy Survey!

We're back in the lovely mangroves of Mandai to find out what lives in the mudflats there.

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!

Learn more about Singapore's biodiversity!

20 speakers, 50 posters, all major ecosystems in Singapore! Only once every four years! A great event for those who want to learn more and do more for Singapore's biodiversity from those who are working on the issues!
Registration now open!

Sign up for lab sessions at St John's Island

Your help is needed in the laboratory to sort out what we have found on our surveys! As Dr Tan Koh Siang showed during the recent 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. 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.

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (18 Aug 2011)

A very small team head out to Sungei Buloh to survey the mudflats early this bright sunny morning.

It's the same stretch of mudflats that we did on our very first Mega Marine Survey. But this time at a much lower tide.
