Thursday, April 23, 2015. Long driftnet at Berlayar Creek (24 Apr 2015). During a survey of Berlayar Creek shore, we came across a long abandoned driftnet. It started from the sand bar facing Sentosa and stretched northwards to Reflections by the Bay. Thanks to Toh Yuet Hsin and her team from NParks, the net was removed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Project Driftnet Singapore: August 2013

Friday, August 9, 2013. Driftnet traps sharks, horseshoe crabs, stingrays on Pulau Semakau (9 Aug 2013). Sadly, but not surprisingly, we came across a driftnet during our National Day visit to Pulau Semakau. In the short portion of the net that I surveyed, I saw 14 horseshoe crabs that were still alive and struggling and seemed freshly entangled in the net. Including two pairs of male and female. They all looked like Coastal horseshoe crabs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mega Marine Survey of Singapore.

Project Driftnet Singapore: 100m abandoned driftnet at Pulau Hantu (3 May 2014)
http://projectdriftnet.blogspot.com/2014/05/100m-abandoned-driftnet-at-pulau-hantu.html
Saturday, May 3, 2014. 100m abandoned driftnet at Pulau Hantu (3 May 2014). A long abandoned driftnet in the middle of the swimming lagoon at Pulau Hantu was spotted two weeks ago by Debby, Pei Yan and other Hantu Bloggers. Who were conducting a guided walk at the time. More about this on Pei Yan's blog. Today, we removed the net. On this trip, we had a team of experienced people to quickly and safely deal with the mono filament net, which we estimate to be about 100m long with a mesh size of 8-10cm.

It started from the sand bar facing Sentosa and stretched northwards to Reflections by the Bay. Thanks to Toh Yuet Hsin and her team from NParks, the net was removed. The net crossed the sand bar, rocky shore and small patch of seagrasses growing near the Berlayar Creek Boardwalk. These are then laboriously hauled out onto the high shore. There are wa...

Monday, April 15, 2013. Small abandoned net at Chek Jawa (15 Apr 2013). Near two dugong feeding trails. We come across an abandoned driftnet at Chek Jawa. Fortunately, the net is short and old. We were on a TeamSeagrass trip with Len and Rudi of Seagrass-Watch. So we all got down to remove the net. Here's Alan and Karen of Ubin NParks at work on the net. The net looks rather old and is well twisted. So we thought no animals were trapped in it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adventures with the Naked...

Sunday, March 25, 2012. More nets removed at Pulau Ubin (25 Mar 2012). Were back to remove more nets at the same spot on Pulau Ubin that we did in Dec 2011. Although it was good to see that there were no new nets in the area we cleared, there are still lots of nets just a few steps further down. Andy, Marcus and Hussain working along. The same net entwined around mangrove roots. A very long net is deeply entwined among mangrove roots along this stretch. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Specially for Pesta Ubi...
