A new Wetlands by the Bay will open at Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay. Expanding on the current Kingfisher Wetlands precinct, it will be three times the size with more than 600 mangrove and coastal plants that visitors can kayak through. Minister of State for National Development Alvin Tan announced this in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4). There will also be a new community space called Glade Lawn, while a pedestrian bridge linking Bay South Garden and Bay East Garden will be ready by 2028. Meanwhile, Singapore is investing S$60 million in a new marine science research centre of excellence. Mr Tan also outlined how the government is reviewing legislation and codes to improve animal health and welfare, and strengthen safeguards against abuse.
