Sisters' Islands Marine Park: walks resume in the midst of mass coral bleaching

In May, NParks unveiled more plans for conservation at the Marine Park. The pontoons are back at the Marine Park allowing volunteer guides to start intertidal guided walks in May and June! And stamps were also issued featuring the Sisters' Island legend.

Alas, Singapore's reefs were also hit by global mass coral bleaching. The Marine Park was not spared.
