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 at the Education University of Hong Kong was tasked by the AFCD in 2018-2019 to undertake dive survey in Hong Kong, and to review literatures about seaweeds in Hong Kong. The results show that Hong Kong has more than 260 seaweed species, including some new species records to Hong Kong, and found a number of seaweed hotspots. The team and the AFCD has compiled the “Field Guide to Seaweeds of Hong Kong” to include key findings of the research. The research team is going to share with the public the research findings and to launch this new field guide.
