Student will:

1. Discover their relationship with the ocean and appreciate the wonders of nature;2. Explore how human activities affect the marine ecosystem;3. Reflect on the impacts of our daily habits on the environment; and4. Realise the importance of leading a sustainable lifestyle and adopt ocean-friendly practices.

Marine Litter

Survey

is one of the first designated

Coral observation on Glass-Bottomed

Boat

marine parks in Hong Kong. The establishment of the

Marine Life Centre in the park provides opportunities to

appreciate the ocean and understand our priceless

marine resources, as well as an ideal place to enhance

students’ learning experiences. Through interesting

activities, students can enhance their understanding of

marine ecosystems and conservation issues, such as,

marine litter and marine protected areas.

Through a first-hand investigation of marine litter in Nam Fung Wan, students can see

how habitats are being affected by marine litter, discover the common types of marine

litter, and their impact on marine life.

The glass-bottomed boat trip allows students a closer look of the coral communities

inside the marine park. After a sharing session on coral biology, students will learn the

importance of corals and appreciate the wonder of nature.

Ocean Ambassador

Challenge

Student can set their own ocean friendly practice challenge, e.g. reducing their shower

time and choose reusable water bottle etc. and share their experience with peers after

the challenge.

‘A Plastic Ocean’

Screening

‘A Plastic Ocean’ is an award-winning documentary produced by A Plastic Ocean

Foundation, exploring the fragile state of our oceans. It exposes alarming truths about

the consequences of our disposable lifestyle.

Wonder of Wetland

Habitats

Led by WWF education officers, students walk

through the most diverse wetland habitats in

Hong Kong, including the Gei Wai, fish ponds,

freshwater pond, reedbed and mangrove.

Conservation

Field Work

Wetlands around the world, including Mai Po

face many threats. Students will be given a

chance to help in our field work in outdoor

habitats to contribute to the habitat management

and conservation work in the reserve.

“Bird Paradise,” Mai Po Nature Reserve has been

managed by WWF-Hong Kong since 1983. With its high

diversity of wetland habitats, the reserve is an important

habitat and staging site for over 60,000 waterbirds in

winter and other wildlife. In 1995, the reserve and the

Inner Deep Bay wetlands were recognised as a Wetland

of International Importance under the Ramsar

Convention. Visitors to Mai Po can experience nature

first-hand, enriching their knowledge of Hong Kong’s

natural environment and sustainable development.
