Wonderful Wetlands Series: Mangrove Monitoring

Through an outdoor field session, participants will get to experience first-hand on how mangroves are monitored using a science-based approach, learn about blue carbon and discover the importance of mangroves and coastal ecosystems. During the activity, participants will learn techniques to monitor mangrove health and conduct fauna survey.

This 2.5hour programme includes an on-site briefing on mangroves and introduction to Kingfisher Wetlands, before proceeding with hands-on session to monitor mangroves in the Wetlands and conduct terrestrial fauna survey.

As the activity requires entering the pond (up to shin-deep level), all participants have to meet the following requirements:

• At least 18 years old
• Physically fit to carry out strenuous exercise
• Confident swimmer
• Appropriately dressed for the field session (attire and things to bring will be sent in the confirmation email)
