Kayak & Clean-Up 獨木舟淨灘
Forrest Kwan (forrest.kwan@ust.hk)
Partnering with SUPWAY Hong Kong, volunteers will kayak in Tai Mei Tuk, navigating through waterways laden with refuse from civilization. By participating in this service, you will have the opportunity to kayak alongside your schoolmates, contributing to the cleanliness of our environment and the protection of our local marine habitats. 香港每年都能從附近海域收集超過2,400噸的垃圾, 但仍有不少海上垃圾會隨海水漂流而擴散, 沖到偏遠的沙灘或垃圾船未能到達的地方。 有見及此, 我們會連同SUPWAY Hong Kong一同乘坐獨木舟, 前往大尾篤附近的水域進行清潔, 在保護我們的海洋及水下動物的棲息地的事上出一份力。
