Singapore island merger plan threatens coral reefs
Original: "Singapore’s plan to merge several islands could wipe out coral reefs" # Singapore # CoralReef # Environment https:// ne
Singapore is moving forward with a plan to merge several of its islands through large-scale land reclamation, and conservationists warn the project could destroy coral reefs in the surrounding waters. Environmental outlets report the reclamation works risk wiping out marine habitats, raising concerns among researchers and nature groups about the fate of reefs already under pressure from warming seas and coastal development in the city-state.
Why now: New reporting has revived concerns about the environmental cost of Singapore's land reclamation plans.
