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

Make way for the new limited edition Rip Curl T-Shirt!
REEFCHECK X RIPCURL
'The Sea Warden'
The Ocean is at risk now more than ever! Trash entering our waterways is building up and it is causing severe harm to our marine life. Over the years, Rip Curl Malaysia has worked closely in efforts to conserve the marine life and the environment, so this year they have partnered up with Reef Check Malaysia for the International Coastal Cleanup Program. The long-term goal is to prevent trash buildup to further damage our ecosystem and to educate the mass about the importance of preserving the environment and the marine life. This collaboration has brought them together in creating this limited edition T-Shirt “Sea Warden” to represent the community that is in this battle together. The 2 guardians in the T-shirt represent us working together in efforts to protect the ocean. By purchasing this T-shirt, Rip Curl will be donating RM15 every T-Shirt sold to Reef Check Malaysia in support of its program. Become our Sea Warden Today!
