Our seashores are still amazingly full of unique marine life! And during a low tide, many will be revealed to those who go looking for them. Come join us for this guided seashore walk at Changi Beach. Here one may encounter lovely sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and the strange sea pen. At Changi, there are also seagrass beds which are home and nursery to the young of marine critters such as the seahorse, pipefish, sea snails, crabs, and if we are lucky, we may even meet the very smart octopus. Kai, our special guest marine guide, has been onto many of our seashores studying their marine life and habitats.

-Seashores exposed during low tides are extremely fragile habitats with many critters living hidden in the mud and sand. Therefore we all have to be extra mindful to minimise our negative impacts while visiting this habitat.
