In commemoration of World Environment Day, Transitions Optical and the Naked Hermit Crabs are pleased to present an exhibition of posters and pictures of Singapore’s shore life, from 6-8 June, at the National Library.There will also be a free public talk on 7 Jun (Sat) by Ria Tan.
There is much beauty and wildlife in Singapore’s shores. But there is a fragile balance that is all too easily disrupted. So many things can go wrong – beginning from ‘small’ things like littering to major construction projects – and that beauty is lost. Forever.
Through 300-600 recent photos, Ria will share and stories of adventures and discoveries on our living shores.
With a special focus on Cyrene Reef!

Nemos, sea snakes, living corals and more! From Changi to Tuas, Sentosa to the Sisters Islands, and beyond.
Ria will also share about some of the threats to our shores, and how ordinary people CAN make a difference.
