Our Coastal Conversation

Overview

Coastal protection is a complex and long term undertaking. Beyond protecting Singapore from rising seas, it is also an opportunity for us to reimagine and remake our coastlines. The measures to be developed should be multi-functional, and integrated with land use and development plans. We will seek to design with nature where possible, to enhance the living and natural environment. We invite the community and various key stakeholders to share their views and contribute ideas to how we envision our future coastal areas to be.

Given Singapore’s varied land use, site-specific studies are being carried out progressively to formulate customised measures for the different segment of the coastline. We will explore a range of solutions that can be flexible and adaptive to enable us to adjust accordingly to new developments in climate science. We will engage widely with different stakeholders to seek feedback on the proposed protection measures when ready.
