Sustainable development workshop Trip to Rocky Shore in Cape d’Aguilar Marine Reserve
Being the first marine reserve in Hong Kong, Cape d’Aguilar is a precious rocky shore with high ecological value. On 30th May 2009, 40 teachers and students participated in the trip to the rocky shore in Cape d’Aguilar to study peculiar geomorphological features namely sea arch, sea cave and blow hole. With guidance of Dr. Au, participants realized the severe human impact on the rocky shore habitats and the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development. We had the invaluable chance of visiting the Swire Institute of Marine Science of University of Hong Kong, understanding how technicians and researches study the surrounding habitat by advanced laboratory installation to pave the path for protecting the environment there.
