Before I enter HKDCS, I’m same with most of the Hong Kong people that lack of knowledge of our “neighbor”. During this three week, I gradually built up consciousness of dolphin conservation. From reading and observing, I learn about their behavior, potential threat and their specific adaptation for aquatic environment. These kinds of experience are unique and really unforgettable.08-06-10 Land-Based Survey-- Tai O
Tuesday, we went to Tai O for Land-based survey. Some of my friends don’t understand why do we go to the mountain for proceed a marine animal survey. As the case stands, Land-based survey can offset the defect of Boat Survey. Compare Land-Based Survey with Boat Survey, we obtain better view to the whole survey area and clearer sighting of boat effect to the dolphin.Dolphins are getting hurt!!
Luckily, the “hurt” dolphin is only a model. But in fact, there are always a lot and lot of wild dolphins actually getting hurt by human’s development. Some of them may get physical hurt by vessel collision, some of them are disturbance by the underwater noise and dolphin watching boat.
The behaviour of those dolphin-watching boats we find is still acceptable. They had slow down or even stop their boat to keep distant from the sighting. However, they are still habit to surround the dolphins together for observation. It may cause potential injure and create underwater noise that annoy the dolphins.Higher Lai

ReplyDeleteIt will be hotter and more humid in the coming summer time so please be prepared well on sun-block and bringing enough water along your coming land-based trips.
