SOS - Save Our Seas Campaign

Objectives


   

The SOS campaign aims at creating marine no-take zones and phasing out highly destructive bottom trawling from most areas of Hong Kong.

Initially, we are asking the Government to:

Stop fishing in our existing Marine Parks, turning them into real sanctuaries that can truly protect marine life

Operate 10% of our waters as "no-take zones", banning fishing and other disturbance, so fish stocks can recover and thrive once again

Stop uncontrolled fishing, by licensing all commercial fishing boats and setting catch quotas before the ecosystem collapses
