Prof. Lam Kin Che, teacher of MPUP5422 Environmental Policy Analysis organized a Dolphin-Watching Trip on 9 March 2019 (Sat) for MPUP and CUHK students to take a cruise trip in western waters of Hong Kong to study the impacts of infrastructure projects on marine environment and biodiversity of the area.

The cruise trip was led by the Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society (HKDCS) staff, who introduced to the students about the impacts of human activities on Chinese White Dolphins in Hong Kong and current conservation approaches in the area.

Students considered the trip a valuable out-of-the-class learning opportunity to explore the nature of Hong Kong and enrich their understanding of the interplay between environment and policies on urban development.
