The hexagonal benzene pods are part of NUS life science students' research into planting mangroves, and a total of 390 pods are installed along Chek Jawa!











There are many wild boars in the area. You can see one among the Rhizophora tree here:

There are increased human-wildlife encounters as many people attracted to the mangrove areas in Pulau Ubin.

There was an error at the end of the video as the tourists were captured by mistake. The image is upside down but you can see many tourists visiting this area as there is growing interest in nature - Chek Jawa in Pulau Ubin. The wild boars are trying to look for food left by the tourists. 








There are many mud lobster mounds near the start of the boardwalk.
