| Semakau Trip 7 June 08 |
Met up with "The Mangroves" team this morning at about 5.30am. Was trying to catch the morning sunrise however, we were out of luck. But it was relatively cool and that was a bonus.
 Pre-dawn shot of "The Mangroves"
I didn't spend much time snapping away the things we've spotted along the intertidal walk. Only managed to remind myself to do that much later...
 Ocellated sea cucumber. Like most sea cucumbers, they extract the organic matter by ingesting large amounts of sediment. This serves as a food source.
 Sunflower Mushroom Coral - A single living organism. The coral derives its colour from the zooxanthallae.
 Puffer fish - This is a delicacy favoured by the Japanese. However, great lengths must be taken to ensure how this fish is prepared. This is a first sighting for me.

 "The Mangroves" with the Raffles Lighthouse in the horizon. Standing at the southern most point of Singapore which the public has access to.
Overall, it's an interesting day with a seahorse, two phylid nudibranchs, hairy crabs etc. Thanks to "The Mangroves" for being very spot-on during the walk. |
