My 2nd coral! This is from the species Acropora, its special because it has 2 colours. The polips are red and the rest is green. Acropora species are some of the major reef corals responsible for building the immense calcium carbonate substructure that supports the thin living skin of a reef.

It will be put at the house reef of Borneo Divers Mabul Resort. We have tagged it and now when can monitor its growth and progress! This also serves as an education platform for tourists and divers alike. This will help them understand the importance of corals and why its important for us to get serious about #conservation .

How much do you know about the Chinese White dolphins #中華白海豚 ? See if can answer all correctly 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
1. What is the colour of baby Chinese White dolphin? Grey or Pink?
2. Why do we call them Chinese White dolphins but not Chinese “Pink” dolphins?
3. What is the nickname of Chinese White dolphins?
It was easy to spot the Chinese White dolphins in Hong Kong water. Dolphin watching is a popular tourist activity in Tai O fishing village.
With one construction project following after the other in the nearby water, including the construction of Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge #港珠澳大橋 , the Airport third runway #機場三跑 and the upcoming Lantau Tomorrow Vision reclamation Plan #明日大嶼 , the number of Chinese White dolphins has been on a sharp decline going from 188 dolphins in 2003 to only 32 in 2018. The number is expected to drop even further.
Again the question is - development and conservation, which one is more important?
@HKDCS organizes regular dolphin research trips. I have joined their research trips earlier this year and it is highly recommended 👍🏻 Did I see any dolphins? Yes! A few! And the trip was very informative and these are what I have learnt 👇🏻😏
𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫:
1. Grey! Chinese white dolphin is grey and spotty when it is young. Its spots fade and body colour changes to pink when it grows older.
2. Adult chinese White dolphins have white skin. They look pink as there is an increased blood flow to the skin when they swim.
3. Fishermen in Hong Kong call them Sea Pig 海豬!The reason is simple - it is a pink mammal living in the sea.
