What are seagrasses and why should I care about them? Find out how seagrass research has been translated into conservation actions from our distinguished plenary speakers from the World Seagrass Conference 2018!
The event will consist of 20-minute talks by each of our plenary speakers and a 30-minute moderated Q&A with the audience.
In conjunction with the International Year of the Reef (IYOR 2018), the British High Commission Singapore, National University of Singapore, and the National Parks Board jointly bring to you the following talk:
“Marine Litter: Are there solutions to this global environmental problem?” by Professor Richard Thompson OBE, University of Plymouth, UK.
The Singapore Institute of Biology (SIBiol) and the Singapore Science Centre (SCS) jointly invites you to our annual Public Forum that will be held on the 25th August 2018 (Saturday), 10am-12.15pm at the Maxwell Auditorium, Science Centre Singapore. This year, in conjunction with the International Year of the Reef (IYOR 2018), we have two talks on the topic “Coral Reef Conservation in Singapore”.
Join us at St Joseph’s Institution for a day filled with marine films, music performances and artwork, coffee painting, and sustainable shopping! It is a great opportunity to meet a variety of marine people – advocates, scientists, artists, social enterprises, agencies and research institutes – and to learn more about sustainability and marine conservation issues in Singapore.
All activities are free! Registration opens on 6 August 2018.
On behalf of the Tropical Marine Science Institute, we would like to announce the following symposium, Environment Challenges for a Tropical Port City: Celebrating 20 years of marine science.

Pteropods are planktonic gastropods that live in the water column throughout oceans worldwide. They show limited acclimation responses to the effects of ocean acidification (OA), with dissolution of their shell observed in individuals exposed future acidity levels. However, we also need to study their long term adaptive potential to cope with incremental changes in acidity. We define adaptive potential as the ability of species or populations to respond to selection through phenotypic or molecular changes. I seek to investigate the genotypic variability, spatial partitioning and gene flow in pteropod populations across the Atlantic Ocean to assess their potential for adaptation. This can be don

Globally, some eight million tonnes of plastic is dumped into the ocean every year, killing marine life and entering the human food chain. Five Asian nations account for 60% of the waste entering our oceans. The ubiquitous spread of plastic waste into every part of the marine environment has captured the attention of academics, industries, environmentalists, and the public. Plastic debris and animals killed by the ingestion of plastic capture the daily struggle of the world’s ocean ecosystems. The massive scale of this problem threatens our food security and sustainability.
