Marine Ambassador

Marine Conservation Course

Introduction

More people are interested in scuba diving in recent years. Yet, most of the training courses for the diving qualifications focus on diving skills only. Meanwhile, coastal ecosystems are rich in biodiversity but fragile and are subject to various kinds of threats from human activities. This "Hong Kong Marine Ambassadors" open online course on marine conservation is specially designed for divers and anyone who is interested in marine biodiversity and conservation in Hong Kong. We have selected four inter-related chapters in this course. Once you have completed this course and passed all four quizzes, you will receive an e-certificate as a Marine Ambassador.
