Mangrove madness in March with R.U.M.

Volunteers were hard at work in March at Pulau Ubin. Cleaning up the mangroves, doing mangrove mapping,  filming R.U.M., and sharing about Ubin's awesome mangroves at our free monthly walk.

Here's a glimpse of our mad March in the mangroves at Pulau Ubin!

25 Mar (Sat) and 22 Apr (Sat): R.U.M. mangrove clean up by Nature Society (Singapore)

Lisa Lim and her team of volunteers from Nature Society (Singapore) Marine Conservation Group lead on mangrove clean up at R.U.M. sites.

Help prepare the mangroves for natural restoration by identifying and removing marine trash such as litter, abandoned nets, large trash.

Registration has just opened and places are limited, so sign up soon! More details from the Nature Society website

Focused on the oil spill in February

In February, the Restore Ubin Mangrove (R.U.M.) Initiative joined hands with NParks to work on a community effort for long-term monitoring of Ubin mangroves following the 300-tonne oil spill in the East Johor Strait in January 2017.

Phillip Lim organised a boat survey of the entire Pulau Ubin coastline, while Prof Dan Friess shared advice on how we can  monitor the impact on mangroves. Sea Angel volunteers and Rachel continue to document and check on oil spill impacts. The February R.U.M. walk was fabulous!
