The
Chinese White Dolphin (CWD) is resident in Hong Kong’s western waters and the
Pearl River Estuary (PRE), and the its population in PRE is unique as it is the
largest one along the China’s coastline. However, its abundance in Hong Kong
has shown to be declining in recent years. To enhance the awareness and
understanding of this beautiful creature, the trip is arranged to have a team
of experienced dolphin surveyors to introduce the habitat, behavior, and
surveying method of CWD.
