The National Parks Board said it has not observed any significant impact on marine life at coastal sites, such as the Southern Islands which include the Sisters' Islands Marine Park (left), since the onset of heavy rains earlier this month. High rainfall could alter water conditions and result in an algal bloom that can cause fish to die.

No harmful algal blooms have been detected recently in Singapore's coastal waters, despite the high rainfall this month.
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said it monitors indicators of water quality at coastal fish farming areas in the northern and southern waters here, such as occurrences of harmful algal blooms.
