There are over 1,000 hectares of fishpond in Hong Kong, which not only provides freshwater and brackish fish to local people but also serves as an important feeding habitat for a large quantity of migratory birds. In order to raise the public awareness on traditional fishpond and its ecological value and to enhance the awareness of the public on conserving wetland, a series of education activities will be held, and one of them is the "Fishpond Education kiosk".
The education kiosk is opened to the public in Nam Sang Wai from December, 2013 in collaboration with Mr. Fok, who is one of our fisherman partners. Our project will set up exhibition boards, fishing equipment, photos, telescopes and mini games etc. next to Mr. Fok's fishpond called "You Ji Fishpond", in order to introduce how freshwater and brackish fish aquaculture contributes to wetland conservation . You are welcome to visit us.
