Chek Jawa

During the English lessons, our teacher gave us an assignment which was about going on a virtual tour on Chek Jawa. At first, I did not know where Chek Jawa is but after doing some researching on Google, I found out that Chek Jawa is actually located at Pulau Ubin, Singapore. Chek Jawa is located on the south-eastern tip of Pulau Ubin and is one of the last few places where you could find a natural rocky shore in Singapore.

The thing that fascinated me the most were the fishes and especially the Diamond Wrasse. They are the only fish species that have quite colourful scales that can be found there. The Diamond Wrasse live in sandy parts of rocky shores and during low tide, they will bury themselves under the sand or even hide under rocks. They only feed on small creatures and are also scavengers.

The other fish species that too can be found there are the Tripod Fish, Pipefish, Toadfish, Butterfly Fish, Scorpion fish, Goby, Frogfish, Tongue Sole fish, Leatherjacket fish, Grouper and Carpet Eel.

I always know that there might be some fishes that I might not be able to see as they might be located somewhere far away from Singapore. If I have the opportunity to go to Chek Jawa(Pulau Ubin), I will definitely go there and see for myself the creatures living there.
