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.

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.

Her research at TMSI focused on biofouling and corals before she headed to the University of Western Australia to pursue her post-graduate studies. Her PhD thesis investigated the effects of climate change on tropical fish growth. After graduation, Joyce joined Rutgers University as a Postdoctoral Associate, researching on the causes and consequences of ecological synchrony in California’s marine ecosystem.

Anthropogenic marine litter pollution is a serious issue facing oceans worldwide. Limited data exists on this pollution issue for South Pacific Island nations. This study presents the first extensive baseline survey of macro-sized marine litter on Mo’orea (0.75 items m-2) and Tahiti (0.95 items m-2), French Polynesia. Locally sourced land-based catchments accounted for the greatest amount of recovered marine litter on both islands. Beverage containers and associated items, such as caps were commonly recovered. Further studies conducted on Mo’orea, demonstrated that micro-litter was prevalent (3.84 items m-2) in beach sands and that 22% of surveyed holothurians had ingested microplastics.
