LIFE UNDERWATER: Raising Awareness of Hong Kong's Iconic Chinese Pink Dolphins

STORY OF THE CHINESE PINK DOLPHINS

The dolphin species needs little introduction. Beautiful, playful, and most of all, intelligent, the dolphin is smart enough to perform complex stunts in captivity, but their true home is of course the expansive warm seas of the tropics. The Chinese Pink Dolphins in particular are native only to the southern coasts of China, and is even Hong Kong's representative species during the handover of 1997.

But considering its special place as Hong Kong's most iconic marine species, it is appalling how we have pushed the Chinese Pink Dolphins out of our waters so rapidly in recent years - all in the name of economic development. Down from 188 in 2003 to just 47 today, their numbers in Hong Kong waters has dwindled significantly as a result of increased marine traffic, pollution, and construction.
