On 16 February 2024, a group of MSc GMRM students joined a field trip to Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park. This renowned marine park in Hong Kong spans 260 hectares and is known for its vibrant coral communities and diverse marine ecosystems. Led by experienced guides and accompanied by passionate WWF volunteers, the participants were in for an unforgettable educational journey. The students explored the rocky shores, studying the organisms that inhabit the intertidal zone. They also had a coral-observation trip aboard a glass-bottom boat. They marveled at the colorful corals and gained a deeper understanding of the different coral species found in Hong Kong.
This field trip provided students with practical experience and a greater appreciation for marine ecosystems. Equipped with newfound knowledge, they are prepared to contribute to sustainable practices and conservation efforts.
