The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department has established several marine parks in Hong Kong for over a decade. Their efforts have proved effective. The native fishermen who have lived in Yan Chau Tong Marine Park for three generations witness the growing amount of catch. The coral communities at Hoi Ha Wan have become a popular "underwater garden."
In this episode, we will make a tour of some local underwater gardens and go abroad to Apo Island of the Philippines. The marine conservation program carried out on Apo Island is very effective. It has increased the income of local fishermen and given life to the underwater world, making the island the most popular dive site in the Philippines.
