Year of the Dolphin extended to 2008!
2007 was the United Nations Year of the Dolphin; it has been extended to 2008. This signifies UN¡¦s recognition of the importance of and its commitment to stepping up protection of dolphins and whales across the globe.
2007 was also the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's reunion with Mainland China. Chinese White Dolphins here were made the official mascot of the 1997 Handover; ten years and more have passed, how are those mascots doing today? What has Hong Kong done to protect them? Can anyone say that we have done enough to eliminate the threats that they have been facing? What does the Hong Kong Government have in mind for their future?
Hong Kong Dolphinwatch has been dolphin watching since 1995 and witnessed the changes before and after the Handover. We hope we will have the chance to take you to our dolphins' habitat and show you the remaining population of our lovely threatened pink dolphins, and let us tell you what our answers to the above questions are.

"All around the world people are realising that whale and dolphin-watching - when done responsibly and suatainably - is an extremely valuable, and one of the fastest growing sectors of the tourism industry. Whale and dolphins are also an extremely effective draw for tourists - people will come from up to around half way around the world to gain experiences with these animals. This type of tourism also has many other benefits apart from the financial: it helps educate both tourists and local people about dolphins, their behaviour, biology, ecology and their role as part of an area's natural heritage and history, as well as the value of conserving these animals."
"I'd like to contgratulate HK DolphinWatch on their 10 year anniversary and thank them for the significant part they've played in raising awareness of Hong Kong's dolphins and the threats that they face - both locally and internationally." Professor Chris Parsons (George Mason University, USA - Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin and whalewatching expert)
