Invitation by MPA to participate in relocation
of intertidal marine life
Dear
Ria,
1 During our briefing to you on 5th May 2007, MPA shared our
reasons and plans for developing the Pasir Panjang Container
Terminal. We also shared that MPA would remain committed in
ensuring that environmental protective measures will be put
in place to safeguard the marine environment. Therefore, we
are glad to inform you that the translocation of corals in the
area affected by development work in the vicinity of Labrador
Nature Reserve is in progress.
2 Additionally, MPA will also be carrying out the translocation
of intertidal marine life affected by the work. The intertidal
marine life translocation exercise will be carried out in the
morning from 8am to 10am during the low tides on 30 May 06,
31 May 06, 14 June 06, 15 June 06 and 16 June 06.
3 As some environmentally-friendly organizations have expressed
interest during the briefing to be a part of this meaningful
exercise, we would like to extend the invitation to your organisation
to participate in the intertidal marine life translocation exercise
on a voluntary basis. The total number of volunteers for the
exercise will be limited to 20 persons on each of the 5 days.
This is due to the limited frontage of the affected area and
to minimise the disturbance to other parts of the beach not
affected by the development.
4 We would appreciate it if you could let us know the number
of volunteers that will be participating in the exercise on
each of the days. The volunteers will be scheduled on a first-come
first-serve basis, subject to the 20-person limit. If the number
of volunteers exceeds 20 persons a day, it will be necessary
to reschedule some of the volunteers to another day and any
inconvenience caused is much regretted.
5 To ensure a smooth exercise and the safety of the volunteers,
we have attached a short note on the ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ during
the translocation for your information.
6 As this a voluntary exercise, the volunteers are requested
to sign an indemnity form. This form is to be returned to us
before/on the day of the translocation exercise he/she is participating
in.
7 Should you have further queries, please contact me at 63751772.
Thank you.
Regards, Hwei Yee Engineer (PPTD)
