Ocean Cleanup: Protecting Our Blue Home

We are committed to protecting the marine environment. Through the following actions, we strive to bring life back to the ocean:

  • Regular beach cleaning activities: We invite volunteers to join us in cleaning the coastline, restoring the beaches to their pristine state.
  • Promoting coastal and underwater cleaning activities: We organize volunteer teams to remove coastal trash and collaborate with professional divers to clean up marine debris from the seabed.
  • Collaborating with divers to remove “ghost nets”: These abandoned fishing nets pose a serious threat to marine life. We work with professional divers to remove them from the seabed, protecting the marine ecosystem.

Join us, let’s protect the ocean together, and bring life back to it!

Hong Kong Ocean Festival: Promoting the Popularization of Ocean Culture

To promote ocean culture and enhance public awareness and protection of the ocean, we actively hold the “Hong Kong Ocean Festival” every year.

The event allows the public to engage with ocean information from multiple perspectives and encourages everyone to protect the ocean through their daily actions.

Goals:

  • ⁠Enhance Public Participation: Encourage more people to engage in ocean culture activities, not just divers and ocean users, but to enable everyone to understand the importance of the ocean through various aspects such as art, culture, and daily life.
  • Expand Coverage: Utilize diverse formats to reach citizens of different ages, backgrounds, and interests, thus increasing the popularization of ocean culture.
  • ⁠Call to Action: Integrate the concept of ocean protection into life, art, and activities, encouraging citizens to make changes in their daily lives, such as reducing plastic usage and conserving water, to collectively safeguard the ocean.

  • Ocean trash environmental protection workshops: Through interactive games, model making, and other methods, allow students to understand the sources and harm of ocean trash, learning how to reduce plastic use, properly sort trash, and other environmental knowledge.

  • Marine life conservation courses: Invite marine biologists or conservation experts to introduce the diversity of marine life, the fragility of marine ecosystems, and the impact of human activities on the ocean in an easy-to-understand way, enhancing students’ ocean conservation awareness.

  1. Daily Life, Implementing Environmental Actions
  • Reduce plastic use: Encourage students to bring their own reusable lunchboxes, shopping bags, reduce the use of disposable plastic products, and promote ocean-friendly consumption habits.

  • Water conservation, energy conservation: Allow students to understand the relationship between water resources and the ocean, and implement water conservation and energy conservation habits in their daily lives, reducing the burden on the marine environment.

  • Ocean-friendly tourism: Promote ocean-friendly tourism methods, such as choosing non-polluting diving methods, not buying marine life souvenirs, etc., reducing the impact on marine ecosystems.

  1. Cultivating Professional Talent, Opening Up Ocean Careers:
