The Ecology and Unique Culture of Local Fishponds
In the 1950s, fishpond industry developed rapidly and became the main source of income for fishermen in Hong Kong. The fishponds also became important habitats for wildlife. As time went by, many fishponds were reclaimed for urban development to meet the high demand of land resources. While the economic values of these fishponds are decreasing, their high ecological values are unquestionable.
In this lecture, the speaker Mr. CHEUNG Fui will share with you the most economic and effective means for exploring local natural resources and cultural heritage in Tin Shui Wai and Yuen Long areas. The relationship between ecological value and cultural significance will be also discussed in the lecture.

本土魚塘的獨特生態文化
在五十年代，香港魚塘養殖業發展蓬勃，不但是本地漁民重要的收入來源，亦為很多生物提供棲息地。可是，隨著城市發展迅速，土地需求大增，很多魚塘被填平作為市區發展。雖然現今的魚塘養殖業日漸息微，但魚塘的高生態價值卻是不容置疑的。
是次講座，講者張奎先生將向大家介紹最合乎經濟原則和有效的方式，去探索天水圍及元朗周邊地區的文化傳承以至本土的自然資源。張先生亦會透過本講座，闡述生態價值與文化重要性的互動關係。
