[Guided Walks] Free guided walks at St John’s Island

St John’s Island National Marine Laboratory is happy to announce 5 public guided walks for 2019 on St John’s Island. These guided walks are part of the Marine Conservation Programme, a partnership between the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum and SJINML. The programme is funded by the Jubilee Whale Fund, is free of charge, and open to public. The walks will introduce participants to marine habitats in Singapore, the biodiversity and natural heritage, as well as provide an opportunity to visit SJINML, Singapore’s only offshore marine laboratory. Each guided walk session is open to a maximum of 40 people.

[Seminar] Fate and Toxicology of Micro- and Nanoplastics in Real-World Scenarios

Microplastics (MPs) are the most numerous debris reported in marine environments and assessment of the amounts of MPs that accumulate in wild organisms is necessary for risk assessment. Nanoplastics (NPs, ≤1µm) may result from larger plastic debris released in the environment and can pose a further risk to aquatic organisms and ecosystems. The risk of M-NPs can be exacerbated because toxicants adsorbed to the particles may be transported to and become more bioavailable to organisms. Our project is focused on providing critical information to enhance the environmental risk assessment of M-NPs, based on real-world exposure scenarios.
