Emcee Singapore - 15th June 2024, Aqualita Ecotechnology

Date - 15th June 2024

Venue - Tampines Round Market

Emcee Singapore - The project is a partnership between Aqualita Ecotechnology and Tampines Town Council, and is supported by Temasek Foundation. Emcee welcome 2 adviser who is joining us on the day. It was raining, the organiser quickly get the umbrellas for the adviser, but emcee has to make announcement from the shelter. We are happy to provide the emcee services to the event as part of the sustainability contribution. This was launched in November 2023, it is Singapore’s first container fish farm located in an HDB estate. Tampines Town Council said the container fish farm is one of the town council’s initiatives to turn Tampines into an eco-town, where residents have easy access to facilities that support a sustainable lifestyle. There is a new offering at fish stalls in a market in Tampines that is harvested in the vicinity and is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, but costs less than salmon. The freshwater fish called jade perch is reared in a 20-foot shipping container located a five-minute walk from Tampines Round Market and Food Centre in Tampines Street 11. The first batch of fish harvested from the community project is on sale at fish stalls in the market. Having the farm right on the market’s doorstep reduces the middleman and logistics costs, which will translate into lower prices for customers.
