Research on mangrove swamp environments is done from 1980 to 2000 by NINAYA members in Southeast Asia countries. Singapore is one of objective points of our research and we visited there five times. Development of Singapore as a member of NIES countries is very rapid, and social and natural conditions are greatly changed in these twenty years.

Development such as formations of reservoir dams, cultivating ponds and reclaimed lands, and conservation activities such as construction of nature parks, cleanup campaign and education on ecology in Singapore mangrove today are described and discussed.
