A group of MSc EHS students visited Hoi Ha Wan on 28 October 2022. Hoi Ha Wan is one of the six marine parks in Hong Kong which covers an area of about 260 hectares. Coral communities in Hoi Ha Wan is famous in terms of species diversity and richness. Mangroves and rocky shores with various kinds of marine organisms can also be found in Hoi Ha Wan. Students had a coral-observation trip aboard a glass-bottom boat which allows them to gain deeper understanding of coral communities and different types of coral species in Hong Kong. They also had a survey in rocky shore to observe organisms that live in the upper layer of intertidal zone, such as snails and clams. With the vivid and detailed explanation by the WWF volunteer, students found the trip impressive and educational.
