Singapore Waters - Unveiling the Seas

Category : Singapore Naturalist

Scuba Diving Singapore was started in 1997 and is a nice surprise. Good effort by a local diver. I chanced upon it when preparing the page on Marine Life in Singapore.

A hefty dose of help came in the form of the Coral Reefs of Singapore page. Tomorrow even more resources help illustrate the point - the Marine Conservation Group of the Nature Society (Singapore) will launch Singapore Waters - Life Unseen.

We may have seen some 70% of our reefs degrade in the past five decades, yet our waters are host to more than 197 hard coral species in 55 genera and 111 species of reef fish from 30 coral families.

Nature conservationists are trying to remain optimistic about the future.
