Kayak for Marine Service
About Kayak for Marine Service (2022)
Hong Kong's oceans are being trashed by plastic. According to a study report on "Investigation on the Sources and Fates of Marine Refuse in Hong Kong" commissioned by the Environmental Protection Department in 2015, over 50% of marine refuse is plastic. In another news report by CNN in 2016, plastic bags, bottles, and other trash are being dumped in the ocean, seriously affecting marine lives. Therefore, Kayak for Marine Service aims to recruit students who are keen on environmental protection to help save the oceans in Hong Kong.
