| Seagrass Bed Between Johor and Singapore |
|
This is the seagrass bed located in between Singapore and Johor which property belongs to Malaysia. Guide to the seagrass bed was leaded by a trained SOS voluntary profession.
The power plant and harbour were built just opposite site. Scrapheap, including chemical waste, are left mixed with the sea water, besides, sea water is used as natural engine cooler for those buildings operator, and so habitat of surrounding benthos are greatly shattered.
Chemical wastes in sea water fortify the chemical element (I don't know, so can't specify the kind) and boost the speed of reproducing/growing of algae. The overgrowth of algae, blot out sunlight from reaching the benthal, lead to the small chance of growing to undersea benthos that can't grow well under sunless condition.

| The man trying to tag a seahorse |
|
I went there and what I did was volunteering to look for seahorse, in order to "tag" them with significative signs, for recording the geological position and number of existing seahorse. Seahorses are well set free after the recording process.
