Abandoned net at Chek Jawa (5 Nov 2017)

A small team came across an abandoned net on Chek Jawa during a routine survey.

The net was too large to remove for the small team. So it was left behind after documenting what was trapped. The presence of the net was reported to Ubin NParks on the same day. We hope they can arrange the removal of the net.


Many fishes and crabs were trapped in the net that was estimated to be about 30m long, with a mesh size of 6cm.

Thanks to Rene Ong for documenting the animals trapped in the net.
