Humankind has been spending much money and time trying to retrieve sunken treasures in the seas for decades. The real treasures to a Biologist, however, are the denizens of marine organisms that inhabit the aquatic realm and which have mesmerized people for hundreds of years. Today, many of them face the threat of extinction worldwide due to various anthropogenic influences. Could we still find such 'treasures' in Singapore today?
The speaker is Mr Law Hock Ling and he is a passionate marine biologist and nature lover. Many students have learnt to appreciate nature through his authentic experience. Having given interesting talks on local marine biodiversity, Mr Law Hock Ling has also conducted teachers’ workshops related to field techniques. He has also mentored many award-winning research education projects. Mr. Law’s research interest is on coral reef biology and marine conservation, and is currently involved in nature guiding.
