I am interested in the mortality of echinoderms due to the fall in salinity as part of my project. May I know how will I be able to access the Flicker photos that you have linked?

Thanks!

Cheers!

About my project

Most likely due to heavy period of rainfall during Dec/Jan 2007, many of the marine creatures died in Chek Jawa due to osmotic pressure.

Click the links below to read more about what happened:

1. Blog post on what caused the mass death?

2. Article on Nature Watch on Life and death at Chek Jawa.

Thus this project aims to study the mass mortality and recruitment of macrofauna for example like carpet anemones.

This project is not just for my UROPS assignment in National University of Singapore, but also for the long run monitoring and understanding of Singapore's favourite shore, Chek Jawa in Pulau Ubin.

My supervisors are N. Sivasothi, Peter Todd and Dan Rittschof.
