    Completion Report (MEEF 2019‐002, Phase I) Value of peri‐urban and Small‐scale Mangrove Forests in the Pearl River Estuary as Fish Habitats Executive Summary This project aims to investigate the importance of peri‐urban, small‐scale mangrove patches in the Pearl River estuary (PRE) in supporting fishery production through the provision of nursery environments. The capacity for coastal wetlands such as mangrove forests to act as nursery sites is thought to depend on (a) the habitat structural complexity; and /or (b) the provision of food; these dependencies are respectively termed the “protection” and “food” hypotheses. Despite that these hypotheses having been proposed for decades, little direct evidence is available for assessing their application to mangrove ecosystems, especially small patches in peri‐urban settings. This study tests the protection hypothesis using small mangrove patches in Hong Kong and the PRE. The specific work packages (WP) of the project are: 1. To assess the value of peri‐urban small‐scale mangrove forests in the Pearl River estuary as habitat for juvenile fish. We survey the types and species of fish that utilize mangrove patches using underwater video cameras and nets. 2. To understand the importance of mangrove forest structural complexity for supporting juvenile fish use of the habitat. We conduct ex situ predation experiments using 3D printed real‐size mangrove structure and observe how juvenile prey fish utilize complex mangrove structures as protection from predation by larger fish. 3. To forecast juvenile fish behaviour in realistic mangrove structures under different environmental constraints using Individual Based Models (IBM). We are constructing the IBMs in a collaboration with the University of Giessen in Germany.

  • Three Cases in China on Hakka Identity and Self-Perception
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives Three cases in China on Hakka identity and self-perception Ricky Heggheim Master’s Thesis in Chinese Studie KIN 4592, 30 Sp Departement of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages University of Oslo 1 Summary Study of Hakka culture has been an academic field for only a century. Compare with many other studies on ethnic groups in China, Hakka study and research is still in her early childhood. This despite Hakka is one of the longest existing groups of people in China. Uncertainty within the ethnicity and origin of Hakka people are among the topics that will be discussed in the following chapters. This thesis intends to give an introduction in the nature and origin of Hakka identity and to figure out whether it can be concluded that Hakka identity is fluid and depending on situations and surroundings. In that case, when do the Hakka people consider themselves as Han Chinese and when do they consider themselves as Hakka? And what are the reasons for this fluidness? Three cases in China serve as the foundation for this text. By exploring three different areas where Hakka people are settled, I hope this text can shed a light on the reasons and nature of changes in identity for Hakka people and their ethnic consciousness as well as the diversities and sameness within Hakka people in various settings and environments Conclusions that are given here indicate that Hakka people in different regions do varies in large degree when it comes to consciousness of their ethnicity and background.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION 1) Background In many people’s minds, Hong Kong is the “Pearl of the Orient” and a compact cosmopolitan city of skyscrapers and shopping arcades. Whether it is the foreign tourists or the locals, they always envision activities like shopping and sightseeing as the tourists’ ultimate activities. Renowned landmarks like the Peak and Tsing Ma Bridge are seen as the must-goes and final stops on their itineraries. However, few seem to realize the city has its peculiar and exotic side. With its rich cultural diversity, more than 260 outlying islands, 100 walking trails, 4 marine parks, Hong Kong promises wonderful landscapes, dramatic and stunning rock formations, craggy mountains, quaint villages, inviting flora and fauna, abundant cultural heritage which cater for not only the interests of the shoppers but also the most adventurous explorers. It is well worth the efforts to explore these charming rural retreats in Hong Kong. The aim of this project is to examine these adventurous places in Hong Kong. As there are many hotels tourists can choose from in Tsim Sha Tsui, we will start our exploration of these adventurous places from there. 1 B) Definitions and our understanding of Adventure Tourism Definitions According to the information given by Queensland Tourism Board, adventure tourism can be classified into two main categories, namely i) Hard adventure tourism ii) Soft adventure tourism There is a distinction between the two kinds of adventure tourism. For hard adventure tourism, it combines a unique experience in an outdoor setting with excitement and a degree of risk. It frequently demands physical exertion as well as a level of skill.
