Part E: Conservation efforts at Jurong Lake Park
The conservation effort of restricting fishing activities to only at Jetties instead of other places and without live baits such as small fishes or meat, this is to let the fishes roam freely around the lake and to control the amount of fishes to be caught.
Park users are not allowed to go into deep grasslands near the pond or with many trees. It is to conserve the organisms present there, like small fishes or tadpoles and the trees which may be cut down rapidly if there were no restriction. Presence of human is a disturbance to the organisms, this can cause the disturbance to be decreased too. It is a good conservation method.
Well, yes the authorities are doing their part to safeguard the natural environment. They placed notices like "Do not go further", "Jetty", "Fishing is only allowed within the jetties itself without live bait" to conserve the living of the animals there and also restrict the amount of human activities that may cause harm to the organisms, for example, over-fishing. The authorities let the organisms roam freely in the environment instead of caging them like a zoo. They try to make the living conditions as natural and physical as possible like having many trees, plenty of water and oxygen and carbon dioxide supply. We think that the efforts put in by the authorities are effective because it does not cause much harm to the surrounding habitats which may disturb the ecosystem there, unlike the human activites. However. there are things which we may think that are further protective and conservative to the environment like having more mangrove trees so that much more organisms can live in them, not allowing smoking in the park as the smoke may cause breathing difficulties in some organisms and not to prevent the trees from getting in fresh air.


ManGO! :)

Group 1 aka ManGO :D
For Biology, baby.

We're 4 individuals from Jurong Secondary School.
Class 1-2, Biology module.
These are pictures and write-ups
mostly obtained from our trip to Jurong Lake Park.
Happy reading! :)


When visiting a park,
Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. :D
