Sharing Cyrene with MPA

Last week, I had the pleasure of sharing Cyrene with an intrepid team from the Maritime and Port Authority led by CE MPA Lam Yi Young and organised by the tireless Joanne Fang.

We started well before dawn and were rewarded with a glorious sunrise!

Dugong feeding trails at Cyrene!

Siti saw dugong feeding trails at Cyrene Reef! Dugongs are also called sea cows because they only eat seagrasses.

We often see dugong feeding trails on Chek Jawa, even on Changi. But this is our first sighting of them on Cyrene!
