Chek Jawa (Singapore) : 15 July 2007

The Team was out again early this morning for our first monitoring of Chek Jawa after the boardwalk was completed and launched. Chek Jawa seems to be recovering. Colourful peacock anemones and carpet anemones were plentiful on the southern area near the beacon. Although there was a thick growth of seaweed in the area. All done! Apparently Siti kept up the pace by poking them with a sharp pointed orange stick aka tape anchor aka tent peg. Text: Team Seagrass-Singapore. TeamSeagrass Website Click here
