  • No-Take Zone at Hoi Ha Wan
    NO-TAKE ZONE AT HOI HA WAN THE ISSUE Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park was one of the first marine parks to be established in Hong Kong in 1996. It is recognized as a marine ecological hotspot due to its rich habitat diversity and presence of threatened species. Hoi Ha Wan has 64 species out of the 84 species of coral that occur in Hong Kong, and over 153 fishes, including the endangered Hong Kong grouper. Despite Hoi Ha Wan being a marine reserve, Hong Kong fishermen are still allowed to fish in the area through a licensing system, as in other marine parks. The government has proposed to ban all fishing activities by fishing vessels in some marine parks, including Hoi Ha Wan, though this will not be fully in place until the end of 2021 due to the long legislation and negotiation process involved. Local fishing by hook and line would still be allowed. No-take (that is, no fishing at all) marine reserves have proven to be a highly effective way to protect and restore coastal marine habitats, including coral reefs, and fish communities around the world. WWF is a strong advocate for developing a network of no-take zones within systems of marine protected areas to ensure healthy and resilient ecosystems, fisheries, and species populations. WHAT WE ARE DOING WWF-Hong Kong plans to engage the government and relevant stakeholders to launch a pilot no-take zone within the bay before the formal fishing ban, and conduct systematic baseline biodiversity surveys within the concerned area with involvement of experts, youth, citizen scientists, AFCD specialists and managers, fishers, and the public.

Yet Hong Kong hosts 84 reef-building coral species in 28 genera of 12 families of the Scleractinia, distributed in 5 broad communities with strong geographic and environmental affinities and key indicator species. Coral communities farthest from the influence of the Pearl River Delta have relatively high sea bed coverage and species diversity (30 to 50% cov- erage, and >30 spp.

  • Inventory of Environmental Work in China
    INVENTORY OF ENVIRONMENTAL WORK IN CHINA In this fifth issue of the China Environment Series, the Inventory of Environmental Work in China has been updated and we made extra effort to add many new groups, especially in the Chinese organization section. To better highlight the growing number of U.S. universities and professional associations active in China we have created a separate section. In the past inventories we have gathered information from U.S. government agencies; from this year forward we will be inventorying the work done by other governments as well. This inventory aims to paint a clearer picture of the patterns of aid and investment in environmental protection and energy-efficiency projects in the People’s Republic of China. We highlight a total of 118 organizations and agencies in this inventory and provide information on 359 projects. The five categories of the inventory are listed below: Part I (p. 138): United States Government Activities (15 agencies/organizations, 103 projects) Part II (p. 163): U.S. and International NGO Activities (33 organizations, 91 projects) Part III (p. 190): U.S. Universities and Professional Association Activities (9 institutions, 27 projects) Part IV (p. 196): Chinese and Hong Kong NGO and GONGO Activities (50 organizations, 61 projects) Part V (p. 212): Bilateral Government Activities (11 agencies/organizations, 77 projects) Since we have expanded the inventory, even more people than last year contributed to the creation of this inventory. We are grateful to all of those in U.S. government agencies, international and Chinese nongovernmental organizations, universities, as well as representatives in foreign embassies who generously gave their time to compile and summarize the information their organizations and agencies undertake in China.
