The Sisters’ Islands Marine Park will protect Singapore’s coral reefs, which support an ecosystem inhabited by rare and endangered species of seahorses, clams, sponges and other marine life. This new initiative aims to give Singaporeans a first-hand experience of our rich biodiversity which are submerged most of the time. The location was chosen due to its variety of habitats including coral reefs, sandy shores and seagrass areas. The Sisters’ Islands Marine Park, which spans about 40 hectares around Sisters' Islands and along the western reefs of both St John's Island and Pulau Tekukor, will be a platform for outreach, educational, conservation and research activities related to our native marine biodiversity.
