“Singapore’s marine life...belongs to a region I call ‘Aseanarean’, the natural home of over 2,500 species of marine fish and more than 500 species of hard corals—five times the biodiversity present in the Caribbean, and 25 times that of the Mediterranean. But after two brief decades of meteoric national development, this treasure trove of nature is on the precipice of no return. We still have a small and vital cross section of the world's highest marine biodiversity, but its survival hangs by a thread... To do nothing is to condemn it to destruction. I wish the authors, contributors and publishers of this book, outstanding success.”

— Francis Lee, President, Raffles Marina

“SINGAPORE WATERS is both a compelling testimony of the treasures that remain, as well as a poignant reminder of what we have lost.”

— Dr Geh Min, President, Nature Society (Singapore)

“This beautiful book will come as a pleasant surprise to many land-locked Singaporeans. The photos show that the sea around us is not dead but teeming with life. We have a marine eco-system that is worth conserving.”

— Tommy Koh, Patron, Nature Society (Singapore)
