Six yellow seahorses belonging to the same species are found to be active in the eastern waters of Hong Kong, but two other species are now missing, says an Ocean Park study. The park's Conservation Foundation conducted a year-round survey of the fascinating creatures last year and discovered one male and five female seahorses belonging to the same species, Hippocampus kuda. Two other species, the three-spot seahorse and the great seahorse, which were discovered in a 2010 survey, could not be located. "We are still searching for the other two species, but it is too early to say whether they have disappeared from Hong Kong waters or not," said principal investigator Shadow Sin Ying-tung. "Seahorses live in shallow tropical and temperate waters and hide themselves in mangroves, seagrass beds, corals reefs and estuaries. It is not easy for us to spot them," Sin said. The foundation hired 12 divers to inspect 31 locations, and all the seahorses ...

Hereunder is a message from DB Green. We have asked for as much help as possible from the government and the community to help us remove these plastic pellets from the beach.  The government has really stepped up their efforts and is concentrating the bulk of their manpower on the 2 areas that have the highest concentration of loose pellets and are inaccessible to most people.  There are also the usual government cleaning teams that are deployed to maintain the patrolled beaches.  They should have been briefed on cleaning up protocol but if anyone sees otherwise, please can you contact me so we can speak with the relavent department involved. So here is the ‘How To’ guide for you. Pellets on the sand are the easiest to remove just after high tide. The sand will be firm and once the beach dries out a little, the pellets can be easily swept off with a dustpan and brush. There are still a lot of beaches where the pellets are floating on the surface near the sh...

Animal activists proposed the Hong Kong Government to neuter, vaccinate and re-release unclaimed dogs into the community. Condemning the catch-and-kill policy as ‘inhumane and ineffective’, animal welfare organizations are calling for the adoption of a ‘trap, neuter and return’ (TNR) policy, whereby stray dogs can be captured, de-sexed, vaccinated and returned to the communities. “We do not believe that [catch-and-kill] is a humane way of controlling [the stray dog] population. It doesn’t work, because the remaining dogs will just breed and fill the gap ,” says Dr Jane Gray, chief veterinary surgeon of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “The key is de-sexing them so they have a stable population and limited breeding, and eventually the population will go down.” [ Timeout ] However, from the technical point of view on population control, neuter does not work because the remaining dogs will just breed and fill the gap . I just wonder late neuter may introduce ...
