Kayak & Clean-Up 獨木舟淨灘活動

Looking for a meaningful outdoor adventure? While Hong Kong collects more than 2,400 tonnes of marine litter from nearby waters each year, some waste continues to drift into remote coastal areas that are difficult to reach. Partnering with SUPWAY Hong Kong, volunteers will kayak around the waters of Tai Mei Tuk to help remove floating litter, protect marine habitats and wildlife, and make a positive impact alongside fellow HKUST students.

想參加一個有意義的戶外體驗？香港每年都能從附近海域收集超過2,400噸的垃圾, 但仍有不少海上垃圾會隨海水漂流而擴散, 沖到偏遠的沙灘或垃圾船未能到達的地方。 有見及此, 我們會連同SUPWAY Hong Kong一同乘坐獨木舟, 前往大尾篤附近的水域進行清潔, 為保護海洋及水下生物的棲息地出一分力。
