I joined Sheryl and Helen and the volunteers from Schering Plough who monitor the seagrass meadows at Tuas just outside their premises.Alas, the shore there has changed dramatically. What used to be a sandy shore, is now very rocky! As a result, there is very little seagrass in the area. A few patches of Halophila ovalis struggle on among the rocks. There are still some seagrasses on the sandier areas that remain. But these lie outside the study area. For more pictures and interesting facts visit Team Seagrass Click Here

A small team headed out to Chek Jawa for our regular seagrass monitoring. I helped out at Site 2, and did transect 1 which is fast being taken over by the encroaching sand bar! There is only a tiny patch of Thalassia hemprichii on Chek Jawa and it lies between our transect 1 and 2 at site 2. Alas, I noticed many of the blades were yellow! The seaward edge of large stretches of Chek Jawa are cloaked in a fresh green meadow of Halophila spinulosa. For more pictures and interesting facts visit Team Seagrass Click Here
