It aims to train local tertiary students and members of the public to be Dolphin Conservation Ambassadors, who will help to promote the AFCD's code of conduct for dolphin watching among dolphin watching operators. In the Dolphin Conservation Month, the ambassadors will join local dolphin watching tours to help operators observe the code of conduct in order to minimize their disturbances to the dolphins. The ambassadors will also convey accurate information of the Chinese white dolphins to dolphin watchers on board.
