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 9 November 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]
