http://reddotbeachbum.blogspot.com/2008/03/west-coast-park-beach.html
Pics and clips from around the little red dot. Sunday, March 23, 2008. West Coast Park beach. West Coast Park has re-opened the beach access after a long long wait. The beachfront is actually in three sections, two of which are divided by a pier looking out at the RSYC berths and the Poly Marina. It even has a small rocky shore habitat! A small section of mangrove trees. Local fishermen use the beach for boat maintenance. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Links from here and there. Coral Reefs - NUS.

Pics and clips from around the little red dot. Monday, January 7, 2008. Chek Jawa's Great Fishnet Graveyard. Clearing of fish nets at Chek Jawa. These are nets which have been left behind by former kampung residents or by fishermen or both. A Quick estimate : about 20 nets (at least) within a 50m stretch of intertidal. Bear in mind that most of these nets are themselves over 25metres long.some over 50 metres! Short clip of some of the team doing their best early in the clean-up.before the mud, and sl...

reddotbeachbum: November 2007
http://reddotbeachbum.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Pics and clips from around the little red dot. Sunday, November 25, 2007. Labrador Mangrove/Berlayar Creek Bay 25Nov2007. Facing Pulau Keppel. I wonder where this pipe came from? Was it left behind or did it come from the other end of Labrador where the seacils were deposited. It looks more like a sanitation pipe though. Probably left behind when the Keppel Marina vacated(? Or dumped from a passing vessel. It may have floated in. A lone carpet anemone. No nemos or shrimp. A lone peacock anemone. Tachyple...

reddotbeachbum: West Coast fishing - 7 bags full and scubatanks even
http://reddotbeachbum.blogspot.com/2008/03/west-coast-fishing-7-bags-full-and.html
Pics and clips from around the little red dot. Sunday, March 23, 2008. West Coast fishing - 7 bags full and scubatanks even. Was at WCP and saw a group of fishermen sharing an amazing catch. they had an assortment of fish and about 10 huge cuttlefish (rugby ball sized). They must have caught about 100 fish. Wasn't able to sneak pics of the fish but they had lots of colourful fish like the copper banded butterfly fish(who would eat this? Or maybe used the scubatanks to help them catch the fish?

reddotbeachbum: over-indiscriminate fishing?
http://reddotbeachbum.blogspot.com/2008/03/over-fishing.html
Pics and clips from around the little red dot. Sunday, March 23, 2008. Friday 21st March 2008 - came across a group of rod/line fishermen surveying their catch from the night before. Note the size of the stingrays.rather small (about 20cm across) .perhaps juveniles.(see pic above, the rays are at the top right). The catch included another unusual ray.a spotted eagle ray! This will ensure that local fish stocks survive. Links on eagle rays :-. Http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle ray. Eagle Ray kills woman!
