Seas Today Ep. 6: Life on Our Seawalls

Ever walked along some of Singapore’s coastlines and noticed tiles on our seawalls? With most of Singapore’s natural shorelines transformed into man-made structures, many of us remain unaware of the creatures that make these shores their home. In this episode of Seas Today, we’ll talk about the mostly hidden, but ecologically important biodiversity-enhancing tiles, as well as what they can do for our native flora and fauna! We’re privileged to have associate professor Dr Peter Todd to chat with us about the intersection of marine science and innovation, as well as the process of designing novel experiments to assist an environment in its recovery.

To celebrate shark week, in this episode of Seas Today, we’re expanding into the Southeast Asian region and speaking to Rafid Shidqi, co-founder of Thresher Shark Indonesia.

Collaborating with local communities, Rafid and his team develop long-term solutions that respect the rights of local livelihoods, while protecting the endangered shark species. During this casual evening chat, we’ll learn more about these fascinating creatures who have roamed (or swam) our planet longer than the dinosaurs have, as well as what Thresher Shark Indonesia and the rest of us can do to protect them.
