Coastal Cleanup @Sai Kung 西貢海岸清潔

[This is a Community Service under Project C - Connect x Community]

Hong Kong, well-known for its 733-kilometer-long coastline and natural beauty, also faces the challenges of marine pollution. According to a study on Hong Kong’s marine environment, around 15,000 tonnes of marine refuse was collected in Hong Kong waters every year. Rubbish left on our stunning beaches will very likely be swamped into the ocean and thus threaten the marine life. HKUST Connect is recruiting volunteers to clean up the beach in Tai Hang Hau, Sai Kung, to help preserve our beautiful shorelines and to raise students' awareness of marine environmental issues.

香港擁有733公里長的海岸線及大大小小景色宜人的海灘，但我們卻沒有好好珍惜。據一份香港海上垃圾研究顯示，每年在香港海域共收集到約15,000公噸海洋垃圾，破壞自然環境，危害海洋生物的生命。有見及此，科大侍學行現招募義工在西貢大坑口泥灘清理垃圾，希望能保護自然環境之餘，拯救海洋生物，同時提醒參加者保育海洋的重要性。
