香港海洋保育聯盟倡增海洋保護區 長遠覆蓋三成本港水域
The Hong Kong Marine Protection Alliance (HKMPA), comprising multiple organisations and individuals, held a sharing session on Wednesday (18th) at the University of Hong Kong’s Swire Institute of Marine Science in Cape d’Aguilar. It renewed its call to expand marine protected areas to protect Hong Kong waters, proposing that four locations—Pak Nai, Shek Kwu Wan, Three Fathoms Cove and the Ninepin Group—be designated as marine protected areas. It also proposed increasing the number of marine protected areas from the current seven to 32 by 2030, covering 30% of Hong Kong waters.
The Hong Kong Marine Protection Alliance comprises 24 organisations and 15 individuals, including the University of Hong Kong’s Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS), WWF-Hong Kong and The Nature Conservancy Hong Kong Foundation. David Baker, the alliance’s acting director and an associate professor at the University of Hong Kong, said establishing marine protected areas would also align with the Hong Kong Government’s need to enhance tourism value (a promising alignment with government agenda). The alliance called for the existing management model at Cape d’Aguilar to be used as a reference, with fishing, hunting or the collection of marine life without permission prohibited under the “No Take” principle.

香港海洋保育聯盟由24個組織及15名人士組成，包括香港⼤學太古海洋科學研究所（SWIMS）、世界⾃然基⾦會（WWF）香港分會、⼤⾃然保護協會（TNC）香港基金會等。聯盟暫任總監，港大副教授David Baker表示，設立海洋保護區亦符合香港政府對提升旅遊價值的需求（a promising alignment with government agenda），倡參考鶴咀現有管理模式，在「No Take」的原則下禁止未經許可釣魚、捕獵或收集海洋生物。

喵坊覓得在港新廠房 創辦人葉文琪：經營壓力未減輕
Mil Mill, Hong Kong’s only recycling plant for beverage cartons, was not offered a lease renewal for its Yuen Long plant by the Hong Kong Science Park last year and must move out when its lease expires the day after tomorrow (June 30). Mil Mill announced today that it had found a new factory site in Hong Kong for relocation, and hoped to achieve a seamless handover from the old plant. Its founder, Man Ki (1964) Yip, told Independent Media that the new factory is located in the New Territories. Although it is larger, the rent has also increased. Man Ki (1964) Yip stressed that the pressure had not eased, with resources and manpower still in short supply: “This is only the beginning.”

綠在觀塘3噸紙包飲品盒未有交喵坊 團體促環保署徹查後嚴懲
The Environmental Protection Department confirmed that after GREEN@KWUN TONG collected 3 tonnes of beverage cartons last year, it handed them to downstream recycler Baguio for processing, but Baguio did not transfer the batch to recycler “Mil Mill”. Edwin Che Feng Lau, director-general of The Green Earth, said on a radio programme today that the incident would inevitably affect public confidence in “GREEN@COMMUNITY”, and urged the Environmental Protection Department to conduct a thorough investigation and severely punish the organisations at fault, including banning them from bidding for government contracts again.

文匯報指11環保團體涉暴 每年獲批數千萬撥款
The 11 environmental groups participated in acts described as anti-China and disruptive to Hong Kong, including conducting so-called “charitable fundraising” activities in the name of environmental protection, during which they spread remarks expressing hatred towards the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. During the period of “black violence”, they used waste recycling stations as bases, screened films inciting violence and encouraged residents to participate in “black violence” activities. A Hong Kong Wen Wei Po investigation found that, cloaked in “environmental charity” and a “green guise”, the groups had received grants totalling millions and even tens of millions from the Environment and Conservation Fund over the past three years.
11間環團參與反中亂港惡行，包括借環保之名進行所謂的「慈善籌款」活動，其間散播仇恨香港特區政府的言論；黑暴期間，以垃圾回收站作為據點，播放煽暴電影，鼓動居民參與黑暴活動。香港文匯報記者跟進調查發現，這些環團披着「環保慈善」的「綠色外衣」，過去三年領取數以百萬甚至千萬元的環境及自然保護基金撥款。
