With 1, 900 people today, the Instagram page has also become a repository of information for experts.
” With more divers posting in the group, we get to … discover that some of the critters ( photographed ) can be new records for Singapore”, says environmental volunteer Toh Chay Hoon, 47, a group member who specialises in identifying sea slugs.
” New records” refer to biodiversity that has a recognized clinical brand but has never been seen in a specific region earlier.
The nudibranch Trapania scurra, which diving Lim Chee Ying photographed in March near Pulau Hantu, was one of the discoveries Toh helped discover. The new diversity report was later published in the journal, Nature in Singapore.
