Being located in close proximity to one of the world’s busiest ports, the Marine Park will provide a safe refuge for the teeming biodiversity around the Southern Islands and its surrounding waters, as well as safeguard our natural heritage. More than 250 species of hard corals can be found in Singapore’s waters out of over 500 species within the region. The Sisters’ Islands Marine Park will protect Singapore’s coral reefs, which support an ecosystem inhabited by rare and endangered species of seahorses, clams, sponges and other marine life. This new initiative aims to give Singaporeans a first-hand experience of our rich biodiversity which are submerged most of the time. The location was chosen due to its variety of habitats including coral reefs, sandy shores and seagrass areas. The Sisters’ Islands Marine Park, which spans about 40 hectares around Sisters' Islands and along the western reefs of both St John's Island and Pulau Tekukor, will be a platform for outreach, educational, conservation and research activities related to our native marine biodiversity.
