Discover Coastal Biodiversity on the Forest Trail

For those interested in land ecosystems, the coastal forest trail offers an educational journey through the unique flora of Singapore’s coastline. Learn about the special adaptations of coastal species and gain a deeper appreciation for the resilience of nature in this educational environment.

Dive into Marine Habitats in the Enhanced Lagoon Tidal Pool

The lagoon tidal pool is not only home to a variety of marine life but also acts as an outdoor classroom. It’s perfect for visitors curious about Singapore’s marine biodiversity, providing a chance to observe sea creatures and habitats in a controlled setting, guided by educational signage and information.

Witness Eco-Innovation with the Solar Farm

The Sisters’ Islands Marine Park has achieved net-zero energy status thanks to a solar farm, showcasing Singapore’s commitment to sustainable practices even in recreational spaces. The solar farm powers much of the island, contributing to a greener future.

A Technological First: Mineral Accretion for Coral Growth

A pioneering feature of the marine park is the mineral accretion technology that promotes coral growth through low-voltage electrical currents. This groundbreaking project is the first of its kind in Singapore, providing a hands-on experiment in marine conservation.

Ongoing Research with CMBS II

The Sisters’ Islands Marine Park isn’t just about recreation. It’s also a hub for marine research, with the next phase of the Comprehensive Marine Biodiversity Survey (CMBS II) launched in partnership with the National University of Singapore, Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, and the NUS Tropical Marine Science Institute. This survey aims to map out a complete picture of Singapore’s marine biodiversity, enhancing conservation efforts for years to come.
