August National Day celebrations at the Marine Park

On National Day, a small team surveyed another side of the Marine Park - the western shore of Pulau Tekukor.

Thanks to Heng Pei Yan, the Drone Commander, we get a drone's eye view of the island. Thanks to Desmond Ong, we get an underwater look at the Sisters' Islands. And thanks to volunteers, visitors got a view of the intertidal treasures during the regular monthly walks.


The small team who visited on National Day are so proud of Singapore's amazing shores!

It is mostly a rocky shore with some seagrasses and corals. More about what we saw during the survey.

Desmond Ong also shared some gorgeous photos of the Sisters' Islands Marine Park, including glimpses of life underwater!

Ordinary people also got a chance to visit the Sisters' Islands Marine Park through the regular intertidal walks.
