Sharing Cyrene with CEOs NParks and URA

Last week, I had the pleasure of sharing Cyrene with two CEOs!

We had a great time exploring Cyrene's rich marine life!

Thanks to Kai-xin for using my photo and giving me the soft copy of the gorgeous poster! For more about the celebration of "Decade of biodiversity discoveries and conservation in Singapore".

Been to Cyrene: "Exceeding expectations"

"I was in anticipation after being able to go to Cyrene - expecting to see stuff on other intertidal shores of Singapore", says Tony.

Knobbly that seems to have raised its arm to "shake hands" -
remarks Tony of this photo he shared.

"However, I was able to see far more than I had seen before!"

Been to Cyrene: "An ecological jewel"

Azlin says: I'm thankful for this ecological jewel in the midst of a busy busy “highway”.

Cyrene lies in the middle of an "Industrial Triangle" and busy shipping lanes.

Been to Cyrene: "Mother Nature's treasure"

"It's great to be back with Mother Nature again and this always put life back into perspective for me," says Teck Hui.

Teck Hui recently visited Cyrene and is great at spotting the fascinating marine life there! She shares this scuffle among tiny moon crabs over a colourful shrimp.

Been to Cyrene: "Go visit at least once in your life!"

"It's a reef? A sea reef? It's off an island? Oh, it's part of an island? Erm it has starfish and other cool looking animals, corals on it. Do I get to see a 'Nemo'?". Probably common questions if I were to ask a land lover who's never been to our country's smaller islands (Mainland Singapore, Tekong and Sentosa doesn't count!!).

Just one of Andrew's many gorgeous photos of Cyrene.

So begins Andrew as he shares awesome photos and stories of his trip to Cyrene on his One° North Explorers blog.

Been to Cyrene: "A safari-load of animals!"

To probably anyone else around the area, it’s just a patch of rocks and sand.

But take a boat out and take a close peek ....
