Webpage postings
Since the dolphin sightings, the webpage has featured:- Books on cheap sale including Living Reefs of the Indo-Pacific for $9.90.
- Software for getting moon, tide and weather information onto your desktop.
- The illegal Indonesian timber trade.
- Extremely bad news for the Sumatran Tiger.
To raise spirits subsequently, photos (finally!) of the elusive Kent Ridge
Hornbill were provided by some kind contributors. An otter encounter (more
like a staring incident) in Kranji mangroves was reported by a student
researcher.
Alvin Wong’s (soon to be posted overseas) writes a blog Alvin’s spiel. The
blog was introduced and the appropriateness of the title for you to
Decide!
Pulau Hantu is celebrated by diver Debby Ng. After encounters with
colourful and resilient marine life during a recent dive, excitingly in 4 metre
visibility, she sent me photos of a puffer fish and nudibranchs (several
specis that I could not identity) and started a blog to reflect her
thoughts.
Its new, has just begin and she is still grappling with technology. But it
reflects how easy it is to get started. The real challenge is writing.
Since she started her blog and maintained a parallel discussion on the local
forum finsonline, she has received suggestions, comments photographs and
one complaint. But its working to introduce her to the local scene, of
people interested in our own marine life and its fate, in years to come.
