well the Chinese word dolphin is a
long-term residents of Hong Kong waters
so it’s part of our natural heritage and
they are quite symbolic in our marine
environment because you know they’re
very charismatic and a lot of people
love the appearance because of their
pinkness 10 years ago we have about
hundred and fifty h dolphin regularly
use Hong Kong waters but now we are down
to about 61 dolphins lat
so that’s a 60% of time just looking at
that thing
many people imagine their Hong Kong have
such a busy polluted harbour that you
will not see any marine lives here but
you know this office has been in over
here for all these years and they still
hanging on
back in the 90s in the last century
that’s a regional airport construction
that results huge amount of habitat loss
for the dolphin so you know the dolphin
has been affected since then but
recently in the last couple of years
there’s the construction of the Hong
Kong Jericho bridge that caused a lot of
habitat loss and also a lot of the
acoustic disturbance during the rich
feeding process and looking ahead there
are even more reclamation proposal
one of our major concern for theft often
is the low reproductive success partly
because of the pollution issue you know
when when the dolphin deep breath to the
yarn delivers the milk and usually they
will pass on the caustic substance to
their feeding to
I consider dolphin as my family members
you know I’ve been studying them for 20
years we recognize a lot of individuals
and you know that they are important
part of Hong Kong community and you want
them to continue to utilize Hong Kong as
part of the arrangement so you know as a
friend you want to help them but it’s so
important to keep our natural
environment as pristine as possible not
only for our enjoyment but also for our
generation one of the most surprising
things to me after working in a while
for almost 30 years is that the
individuals are so distinct you know we
tend to think of a dolphin as a dolphin
as a dolphin and they’re not
