wildfilms note: this is the current working area ...

Compared to the last working area ...

The working area has moved away from Cyrene Reef ...


Towards Labrador Nature Reserve (MPA should stop calling it Labrador Park). This area is also just off Sentosa's natural shores at Tanjung Rimau.

Not forgetting that at the same time, there is massive sand dumping going on in the same area at the same time ...
