OCEANS
Our oceans are our planet's life support system.
Hong Kong has a profound connection to the sea, from a thriving fishing village to becoming Asia’s second-highest per-capita seafood consumers. But unfettered development is putting our ocean under risk.
From vibrant coral communities and lush mangroves to hidden seagrass beds, rich mudflats, and open waters, Hong Kong’s seas are bursting with life. These unique marine habitats are part of our natural heritage.
Yet this natural treasure is under threat. Rapid coastal development, pollution, unsustainable fishing practices, intense marine traffic, and overwhelming recreational use are putting pressure on our fragile marine ecosystems.
We are working towards achieving sound ocean governance by advocating that the government initiate ecosystem-based marine spatial planning to sustainably manage 100% of Hong Kong’s waters. This includes ensuring at least 30% of our waters are protected by 2030 by marine protected areas or through other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).
MPAs are key to protecting our ocean. Learn about the seven priority sites in Hong Kong.
