提供一個給本地市民採取相關行動的平台

LivingSeas Hong Kong is a Hong Kong based not-for-profit community organisation comprised of concerned residents who are urgently seeking the implementation of strategic local marine protection programs and policies aimed at revitalizing Hong Kong’s unique marine ecosystem. We wish to see a framework of policies and programs to ensure the long-term recreational, commercial and environmental vitality of this important resource.

 

Particular concerns

  1. Decimation of Hong Kong’s marine life.
  2. Lack of a cohesive government policy or legislation that adequately protects marine life in Hong Kong.
  3. Destruction of marine habitats through reclamation projects, sewage/open drain discharge and the untenable practises of Hong Kong’s fishing industry.
  4. Hong Kong consumption of seafood is unsustainable.

Living Seas Hong Kong is apolitical and seeks to co-operate and develop a trusting working relationship with all individuals and bodies, official and unofficial, to further the objectives of the group.

 

Focus of the group

  • The setup and management of No Take Marine Reserves in Hong Kong that will aid in the recovery and ongoing health of marine life.
  • Working with stakeholders to achieve practical solutions.
  • Solicit support from the local community to establish better marine conservation.
  • Furthering the education of the local community on the uniqueness and potential vibrancy of Hong Kong’s Marine Environment.
  • Work with legislative groups and governing bodies to put together the policies and legislation to protect and sustain marine life in HK waters.
  • Providing a platform for the local community to take action
