Visiting Mother Shore babies: East Coast Sailing Centre (Oct 2026)

Right in front of the National Sailing Centre at East Coast Park Area G, the artificial shore is full of interesting marine life. We can get a glimpse of them at super low tide. These are the babies of our vast and unseen Mother Shores in the far south-west waters.

Thanks to participants for making time for this trip. And Lon and Samuel for helping to share about the shore. This trip is part of the Love Our Mother shores October's talk and workshop. Here's what happened at the indoor talk and workshop. Grateful and awed that so many amazing people made time to come together to share and learn about our Mother Shores. Thank you!

I'm repeating this series in November. More details soon. Please join us if you can.

Another $135 million injected into coastal protection

Singapore is injecting another $135 million under the Coastal and Flood Resilience (CFR) Funding Initiative. For research for practical solutions in construction efficiency for future coastal works; tidal gates and pumping stations; and enhance digital predictive maintenance and monitoring. 

Authorities will explore how inland flooding facilities can be integrated with green spaces and public use, so that these flood-protection measures are not just a single-purpose infrastructure but ones that people can also enjoy”. One project aims to combine conventional coastal structures with natural habitats such as mangroves and corals – living components that can help protect the shore and provide ecological benefits.

Pilot in 2027 for ash scattering at Southern shores

Families wishing to scatter their loved ones’ ashes at sea will have a new option from the second half of 2027, when the National Environment Agency (NEA) launches a two-year pilot ferry service. The service will run weekly from Pasir Panjang Ferry Terminal under an operator appointed by NEA, and take multiple groups on a single vessel. 

Ash scattering at sea is currently offered by funeral service providers at a designated site about 3.2km east of Raffles Lighthouse. Also just off Pulau Ubin, Chek Jawa via bumboat departing Changi Point Ferry Terminal.
