		A key issue was resolved last year when the developer of the course, the National Service Resort and Country Club, agreed to maintain a 60m buffer zone between the new course and the marshlands to protect its 141 bird species.
		The society's chief worry is the proposed reclamation of an area, which it says was not mentioned in the earlier plans for the golf course or the compromise deal with the society.
		The society had asked for this part of the coastline to be left untouched because it is a feeding ground for birds from the Kranji marshland and the nearby Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve.
