Administration Maritime and Port Authority (MPA)
Description Currently uninhabited. Jong is essentially a small tree-covered mound rising from the
sea. The extensive fringing reef is cigar-shaped, extending from the northwest to the
southeast. The east side of the northwestern tip drops to a depth of about
25m. The seafloor hosts many gorgonians.
Reclaimed from 7 smaller islands- Pulau Ayer Chawan, Pulau Ayer Merbau, Pulau Merlimau, Pulau Pesek, Pulau Pesek Kecil, Pulau Sakra and Pulau Seraya in 1991 to house petrochemical complexes. Most of coral reefs lost through land reclamation.
Transplant project to save coral carried out in 1995, corals moved to Sentosa. http://www.recyclingpoint.com.sg/Articles/1995Jun5SaveCorals.htm
