Public Seminars on Marine Parks and Marine Ecological Resources 2008
This department will organize a series of seminars on Marine Parks and Marine Ecological Resources during the period from June to August 2008 at Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
The purpose of this programme is to share the knowledge of the speakers with the public on both marine ecology and conservation in Hong Kong. We hope to increase the understanding of the public on our marine environment so as to arouse their concerns on and gain their support to our marine parks management and other marine conservation programme in Hong Kong.
