Do these corals include intertidal corals?

Hopefully that will happen again, once the IR is done... yes years from now.<BR/><BR/>Today, is there a way we can rescue as many by transplanting these beautiful marine life... our marine life to another designated sanctuary somewhere?<BR/><BR/>What are the things necessary to do it... permissions, assistance from government bodies and other wildlife associations, funds... etc?<BR/><BR/>These are incredible creatures that deserve humans' help because humans are taking over their places.<BR/><BR/>You are a wonderful group of people with compassion.

Imagine our children growing up in a totally landscaped garden city with high GDP devoid of any spontaneous nature.

I walked along the shore from Rasa Sentosa side to the underwater world part. It was really beautiful. Although the tide is not super low but I can still see the big patch of Montipora spp. of coral. Felt that it is quite ironic that people had to pay to visit an artificial aquarium over a natural one that is so beautiful, interesting and free. Do visit this shore before it is gone.Dai Jiaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704197878515000293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110737299038469570.post-43739169317590308812007-04-24T08:41:00.000+08:002007-04-24T08:41:00.000+08:00It's really very amazing!

Its such a waste & sad that all these lovely coral reef and its animals have to go away for the IR. Any idea if they are in the conservation plans from the developers?

The Euphyllia colonies were exposed for about an hour during that super low tide period.<BR/><BR/>I've seen other Euphyllia colonies elsewhere similarly exposed for that duration. <BR/><BR/>However, I've not seen such large colonies before, certainly not so close to the mainland. The colonies at Sentosa looked very healthy.<BR/><BR/>Btw, was nice to finally meet you yesterday!Ria Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770926654830427210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110737299038469570.post-12481276161552450452007-04-22T00:46:00.000+08:002007-04-22T00:46:00.000+08:00wow.
