On 10 June 2008, we submitted over 58,000 signatures that we collected over two months, to the office of the Chief Executive. To achieve the ultimate goals of our Save Our Sea campaign, we always need a much louder voice to urge for immediate government actions. Every signature counts, and we will continue to channel your demand for better marine environment to the government, and keep monitoring government's response.

Objectives of SOS Campaign
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
Hong Kong used to see colourful and diversified marine life some decades ago; with pollution, development and overfishing, the marine environment today is badly degraded. Certain species are heading towards extinction and the weight of our average local fish catch from trawling today is less than 10 gram!
If you do not want to lose these natural assets in our waters forever, sign the petition below to voice your concern to the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. Your actions will help leave our children a sea with life.
