Open to the Public - Registration Needed
A pictorial conversation of Singapore's coast from 1950s - 1970s when the coastline was vastly different from today -
It
was largely natural and indented. Fishing villages dotted the shores.
Inshore fishing was an occupation for many. Kelongs were abundant in the
shallow waters. Prawn ponds occupied the estuaries of major rivers. And
there were thriving communities in the islands off Singapore.
Join
the Nature Society (Singapore) Marine Conservation Group this October
as we gather virtually for a ‘Kopi Session’ with some of our friends to
reminisce about our natural coastal heritage. We shall travel back in
time with them as they relive memories from the 1950s to the 70s;
sharing their stories of a time past where our shorelines and coastal
areas look very different from what they are like now.
Everyone
is invited to this 'Kopi Session'! So, make your own cup of kopi or
teh, settle comfortably in your favourite spot at home and join Kathy
and Kay Yaw from the MCG team as they chat with some of our long-term
NSS members; Kwok Peng, Osman, Kheng Soon and Edzra. It will be an
afternoon of reconnecting with Singapore’s precious natural heritage
through memorable lived experiences
