The length of the Singapore coast has increased significantly
over the past two decades as a result of reclamation, following the
trend predicted by Hilton and Manning (1995). Based on the 2011
map, the total length of coastline is 505 km (compared to 480 km in
1993), and this figure will continue to climb with the completion of
the reclamation works in P. Tekong and Tuas Industrial Estate.
Currently, the total length of seawalls is 319 km, constituting 63.3%
of the coastline. Of these, 5.5% are sloping and grouted, 41.0% are
sloping and un-grouted, 26.9% are vertical (26.6% could not be
verified from satellite images and/or were not accessible for
ground-truthing). The estimated total area of the sloping seawalls is
1.85 km2. Unsurprisingly, the locations with the most seawalls are
those that have undergone the most reclamation work, e.g. Tuas
(59 km), Jurong Island (47 km) and Changi (19 km)
