Pulau Semakau meadows
Within one of the worlds busiest ports and adjacent to Singapore's only
landfill, Pulau Semakau has vast seagrass meadows with
abundant Enhalus acoroides (on the horizon is the petrochemical facilities
on Pulau Bukom - the largest Shell refinery globally). Through effective
management and enforcement by the Singapore Government in
conjunction with the public, rich and productive seagrass habitats remain
in proximity to the city. TeamSeaGrass monitors this and other key
seagrass meadows in Singapore.
