請繼續支持世界自然基金會 協助保護香港海洋生態

親愛的支持者：

感謝你在2007年1月支持本會，參與「反對在大鴉洲興建液化天然氣接收站」的簽名請願運動，一同保護中華白海豚。你的支持，對我們保護海洋生態的工作十分重要，我們希望你能再次支持保護海洋的行動，簽署最新的「拯救海洋大行動」網上請願書。

「拯救海洋大行動」簽名請願運動

中華白海豚及其他海洋生物，在大鴉洲水域以外同樣飽受生存威脅，故本會發起「拯救海洋大行動」。本港附近水域於1950年代有各式各樣的海洋生物，但是，加於基建發展項目及未受監管的捕魚活動，令魚類數目大幅下降，不少物種在本港更面臨絕種威脅，我們的海洋生態系統亦接近崩潰。「拯救海洋大行動」的目標是闢建海洋禁捕區，逐步禁止破壞力極強的底拖網漁船在本港大部分水域作業。關於簽名請願運動的內容，請瀏覽我們的網上請願書。

本會深信，公眾力量是我們環境保護工作的成功關鍵。而在「反對在大鴉洲興建液化天然氣接收站」簽名請願運動中，你們帶來了以下的成果：

• 簽名請願運動收集到超過20,000個簽名，打破了本會歷來為單一項目收集簽名的紀錄！
• 環境保護署在有關建議的公眾諮詢期內，收到大量公眾意見，打破了該署自1998年以來的紀錄！
• 如在大鴉洲興建液化天然氣接收站的建議獲通過，中電須遵守一項額外的監察條款，以加強環境改善措施的內容。

到目前為止，政府尚未落實大鴉洲興建液化天然氣接收站的建議，如有進一步的消息，本會定必向你匯報。

本會一直致力保護香港的海洋生態，希望它能回復勃勃生機，而我們亦堅信，唯有得到你的支持，才能做到！最後，再次謝你對我們一直的支持！

Again, WWF Asks for Your Support to Save Hong Kong Seas

Dear Soko Campaign supporter,

Thank you for your support to protect the Chinese white dolphins during our No-Go-at-Soko signature campaign in January 2007. This email explains how your last action made a real difference, and how signing our new marine petition can further help us conserve the dolphin and other threatened species.

People's power is key to our success – For No-Go-At-Soko:

• Your support contributed to the highest number of signatures (over 20,000) our office has ever collected for a single campaign!
• Your support helped break the record of public submissions ever received by the Environmental Protection Department during a public consultation for an Environmental Impact Assessment!
• Your support helped introduce additional monitoring requirements on environment enhancement measures that China Light and Power will have to comply with should the LNG terminal go ahead.

Until today, the Government has yet to make a final decision on whether or not to give approval for the LNG terminal at South Soko. WWF will keep you updated on the developments.

The Save Our Seas (SOS) Petition Campaign

Severe threats to marine life including the Chinese white dolphin are not confined to the Sokos. WWF urgently needs your support again, to join our "Save Our Seas" (SOS) signature petition campaign!

Up until the 1950s, the waters around Hong Kong were packed with a stunning array of marine life. As a result of developmental pressure and unlimited fishing, fish populations are declining sharply, many species are under threat of local extinction, and our marine eco-systems are close to collapse.

The SOS campaign aims at creating marine no-take zones and phasing out highly destructive bottom trawling from most areas of Hong Kong. Initially, we are asking the Government to:

Stop fishing in our existing Marine Parks, turning them into real sanctuaries that can truly protect marine life

Operate 10% of our waters as "no-take zones", banning fishing and other disturbance, so fish stocks can recover and thrive once again

Stop uncontrolled fishing, by licensing all commercial fishing boats and setting catch quotas before the ecosystem collapses

Your support is important to help protect Hong Kong's marine life from disappearing forever! One of the four designated marine parks at Sha Chau and Lung Kwu Chau Marine Park is an important habitat for Chinese white dolphins. A recent study found a decline in fishes that the dolphins feed on – perhaps unsurprising as commercial fishing is still permitted fishing in the marine parks. Making all marine parks (2% of Hong Kong waters) disturbance-free areas will definitely give fish and marine mammals breathing space to survive.

Please sign our SOS petition.

Thank you very much for your continual support to WWF!

Best wishes,
Eric Bohm
CEO
