「勃勃海洋」及「世界自然基金會」於今年七月二十八日為本港漁民聯合舉辦了第二次替代生計研討會。
On the 28th July 2011 Living Seas Hong Kong and WWF Hong Kong organized a second alternative livelihood workshop for fishermen in Hong Kong.
這次研討會的目的，是希望在禁止拖網捕魚法案通過後，為本港捕魚業介紹有關替代生計的前景展望。同樣重要的是，我們還邀請了各個海洋相關行業的代表出席會議，分享他們對海洋相關產業未來發展的想法和意見。這些代表來自以下行業：
This workshop was aimed to get perspectives from the fishing community to alternative livelihoods options after the trawling ban comes into place. Also importantly we invited representatives from various marine related businesses to present their ideas and thoughts about further development in the marine sector. Representatives came from :
- Recreational diving
休閒潛水 - Marine eco tourism
海洋生態旅遊 - Aquaculture
水產飬殖 - Shipping
航運 - Recreational fishing
休閒垂釣及 - Marinas
遊艇會
出席者還包括立法會議員(漁農界)黃容根先生、香港漁民團體聯會副主席何俊賢先生及區議員Paul Zimmerman先生等。
Also in attendance was Hon Wong Yung Kan (Legco rep for Agriculture and Fisheries), Stephen Ho (Vice Chair – Hong Kong Fishermen Consortium) and Paul Zimmerman (District Councillor)
在歷時三個半小時的研討會上，與會代表在坦誠的氣氛下各舒己見，正面地提出了不同的意見和建議。最後，會議歸納出一份向政府提出的優先處理事項及跟進行動建議清單。我們將於短期內把有關建議提交政府相關部門。
The 3.5 hour workshop was an open discussion where different representatives of the community were able to voice their perspectives openly. All attendees were positive with many different ideas voiced. The final conclusion was a list of prioritized preferences and follow-up action points, for the government and other agencies, as well as a strong plead to continue to work together. We intend to present these to the government authorities soon.
這次研討會的成果遠超預期。會議是整個社區踏出的非常正面的一步，它不僅讓漁民獲得可持續發展的替代生計，並且確保禁止拖網捕魚可以為香港整體帶來最大的利益。
The workshop hugely exceeded our expectations and is a very positive step toward a community wide effort to not only secure fishermen’s ongoing livelihood options but also to ensure that the ban on trawling achieves the maximum potential benefit for the whole of Hong Kong.
Onwards and upwards….
