HONG KONG STORIES 2009: A FISHERMAN'S STORY
Executive Producer: Albert Cheung
Producer: Frank Mak, Boy Leung

The Leung's family has been fishermen for three generations. Initially, the family set sail for Maldives and Australia to catch fish. But now LEUNG Fook-yu finds himself too old for a long trip. He continues his navigation in local waters instead. He can still remember that weather was easy to foretell in the past and unpredictable nowadays. And he recalls that it was easier to catch fish previously than now. After the handover, more and more Mainland boats crossed the border for fishes in Hong Kong waters. The illegal intruders threatened the survivals of local fishermen. What's more, it damaged the corals on seabed. A few years ago, Leung and other fishermen formed an organisation for the conservation of marine life. They have urged the government to establish a protection zone on the sea and distributed educational materials on the conservation of seabed to fishermen.
