Kids Ocean Day HK was organised by Ocean Recovery Alliance to celebrate Kids Ocean Day in Hong Kong.[1][2]
Foundation
The Malibu Foundation, a California-based non-profit organisation, started Kids Ocean Day to connect children to the ocean and beaches, and to foster understanding of the environmental issues they face.[3] The first Kids Ocean Day Hong Kong was celebrated November 9, 2012. Over 800 students, teachers and volunteers met at Repulse Bay and helped create a piece of aerial artwork featuring a Chinese White Dolphin, organised by aerial artist John Quigley of Spectral Q.[4] The design was based on 9 year old Leung Man-Hin's artwork which won the drawing competition for the event.[3][5]
Goal
To raise awareness, understanding and appreciation among Hong Kong youth about the state of the ocean and the health of its ecosystem.[2]
