ArtScience Museum

This event is part of the Waves of Change Festival 2023 held at ArtScience Museum on the 5th to 27th of August 2023.Mangroves: More Than Meets The EyeMangroves are amazing ecosystems that do so much for our planet. They serve as nurseries for young marine life, giving them a safe place to grow. They protect coastal communities from big storms and help stop the land from being washed away. They are also superheroes fighting climate change by storing a lot of carbon. However, coastal development, unsustainable aquaculture and sea-level rise pose unprecedented threats to these fragile ecosystems now.Join us in this sharing about the wonders of mangroves to people in Singapore and what they are doing to protect them. This sharing will feature voices from students Enya Wong from Nanyang Girls High School and Chloe DeCourcy Hallinan from Raffles Girls Primary School, as well as Dr. Siti M. Yaakub, Director of the International Blue Carbon Institute of Conservation International.
