Quan Cai > Coral Monitoring

Linda Olson, Julie Harris

The coral community at Hoi Ha Wan (a drowned river valley on the northeastern shores of the New Territories) is under threat from a variety of sources: pollution, dumping of sludge, fishing, coastal reclamation and damage from scuba divers. Hoi Ha Wan has been designated a Marine Park and a WWF Marine Studies Centre has been constructed there.

This project will involve you being trained as a diver and in marine ID, then monitoring the coral communities at Hoi Ha Wan. It is a two-year service, which occurs on the weekend and involves mandatory training during Project Week.
