Nee Soon Member of Parliament (MP) Louis Ng asked the Ministry of National Development (MND) whether more species of marine invertebrates can be included as protected wildlife species, under the Wildlife Act. Ng's parliamentary question on July 5 was filed after many visitors were sighted catching wildlife indiscriminately during low tides last month, raising concerns over the environment and ecological impacts at the intertidal zones. MND: NParks regularly reviews and updates the list of protected wildlife species In response to Ng's question, MND said in a Written Answer that additional protections are given to more vulnerable species by designating them as protected wildlife species under the Wildlife Act.
