To allow a better understanding on the distribution, diversity and abundance of seahorses and adult horseshoe crabs in Hong Kong waters, Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) is collecting information on the sightings of seahorses and adult horseshoe crabs in Hong Kong waters through an online form.

Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department is organising Ting Kok+ Ambassador Scheme. The Ting Kok+ Ambassadors will participate in a series of training and field trips on various topics, including coastal ecology and biodiversity, knowledge and species identification of coastal fauna and flora, and communication skills with the public. The Ting Kok+ Ambassadors will then apply their learning gains at Ting Kok and other coastal areas to help record the human activities and marine species in the area, as well as to interact and engage the public to promote conservation of the area.

The research team led by Dr. CHAN Lai Leo, Associate Director of State Key Laboratory of Marine Pollution from City University of Hong Kong was tasked by the AFCD to carry out a Consultancy Study on Reef Fish Diversity in Hong Kong. It was the first comprehensive reef fish scientific survey in Hong Kong, with underwater surveys at 26 major reef fish hot spots over a 24-month period. In this study, 287 species and over 200,000 individuals have been recorded. The research team has also studied on the distribution pattern of reef fish species and the structure of the local reef fish communities. They are going to share the study results with the public through this webinar.

To allow a better understanding of the occurrence and severity of coral bleaching events in Hong Kong, Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department has launched a reporting system for coral bleaching sightings in Hong Kong waters.

To better understand the species composition and distribution of seaweeds in Hong Kong, as well as the possibility of new record discoveries, Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department has launched a reporting system for coral bleaching sightings in Hong Kong waters.
