OCEAN LITERACY INTERNATIONAL (HONG KONG)

clean up by kayak

Getting into those difficult to go to places to remove the coastal rubbish that is too hard to remove by any other means than a kayak.

Cleanup by Kayak

Hong Kong has over 1,000 kms of coastline, much of it on the 230 remote islands or isolated country parks.

These coasts are supposed to be in pristine condition due to their isolation – however, that is far from reality. As trash drifts in from the ocean, these coastal environments become landfill, especially in locations where it is impossible to hike to.

That is where we come in…
Cleanup by Kayak.

We can and will go into places that others can’t get to, to remove this unwanted rubbish.

If you look closely you will see....

If you look closely ......

Everyone is welcome (needed) to help!

Most of the coastline of Hong Kong has never been cleaned, so after years of trash accumulation, there are hundreds of beaches, coves and inlets that are in dire need of rubbish removal. This is a massive task.

We have embarked on this project with the knowledge that we need all the help we can get, so we are creating opportunities for locals and visitors to join in on this important environmental campaign.

You will also have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping the marine environment by reducing man’s impact on the ocean.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

let me count the ways....

1. Local, Group or Club Events

If you have a club or a group of friends and you want to do something to help, why not contact us to organise your own private group Cleanup by Kayak event.

Please understand, we will be cleaning the beaches and coastline from where we have positioned our kayaks at the moment as this reduces the logistics of trying to move the equipment by truck. Currently we have kayaks based at Sai Kung which opens up all of Shelter Bay for cleaning & Kei Lin Ha, which means the coastal area of the Tolo Channel and 3 Fathoms Cove.

There are hundreds of places to clean here and all are within the Global Geopark.

2. CSR Corporate Events

If you have or work for a corporation that wants to get involved in cleaning up the beautiful coastal environment of Hong Kong, contact us and we can create a special event for you.

All proceeds go to Ocean Literacy International (Hong Kong) Limited, a registered Not For Profit Organisation here in Hong Kong working hard to clean up our coastal environment and provide Ocean Literacy to Hong Kong.
That may help your tax position as well as the local environment. Another win win!

3. School programmes

Schools can become involved in many ways.
Creating an environmental education field trip incorporating a social activity – that is cleaning up a section of the Hong Kong coastline.

Doing a UNESCO Global Geopark educational day including a social activity – you guessed it, cleaning a section of the coast.

Doing a skills development day (how to use a kayak) with a social activity – yup, thats the one.

Sea Kayak Hong Kong will design educational fun days for students to enjoy the outdoors while participating in a cleanup event. Science is everywhere in the UNESCO Global Geopark.
