我的山海日誌 My Nature Diary

「我的山海日誌」計劃結合淨灘/淨山行動、公民科學、環境教育，期望透過每一次活動讓參加者了解山間廢棄物、海洋廢棄物(下稱：山廢、海廢)的議題。

“My Nature Diary” is a campaign involving trails and coastal cleanups, litter survey citizen scientist research and environmental education. We hope to actively involve publics to get first hand experience and knowledge on solid wastes in the wildness.

「我的山海日誌」計劃結合淨灘/淨山行動，公民科學*和環境教育，期望透過每一次活動，讓參加者了解山間廢棄物、海洋廢棄物(下稱：山廢、海廢)的議題。我們希望以環境教育讓人認識山海污染這全球性議題，以實際淨灘/淨山行動清除海岸/山上的垃圾，和以公民科學的方式紀錄山廢、海廢的實際數字和種類，建立屬於香港的山廢、海廢數據庫。數據後續將作為環境教育及學術研究的基礎，並成為推行環保政策的依據。

‘My Nature Diary’ combines beach / mountain cleanup, citizen science* and environmental education. Through every cleanup event, participants can learn about the concrete issues of marine and mountain debris. The project aims to allow actual participation in beach / mountain cleanups, foster understanding in the global problem of plastic pollution through environmental education, record the amount and types of garbage through citizen science, as well as establish a database on Hong Kong’s marine and mountain debris. Data generated will form the basis of future environmental education, academic research and ultimately, the enactment and implementation of environmental protection policies.

*公民科學：指公眾參與的科學研究，包括非職業的科學家、科學愛好者和志願者參與的科研活動，範圍涵蓋科學問題探索、新技術發展、數據收集與分析等。
*Citizen science is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur (or nonprofessional) scientists. Sometimes described as ‘public participation in scientific research’, citizen science involves participatory monitoring and participatory action in research whose outcomes are often advancements in scientific research by improving the capacity of scientific communities, as well as raising public understanding of science.

於2012年因颱風吹襲而發生的膠粒散落於香港水域的事件在香港引起很大的迴響，許多義工及組織發起清理海岸膠粒的活動，而生態巴士亦是其中之一。雖然生態巴士過往都有清潔海灘的活動，但我們主要透過參觀海岸公園和浮潛活動推廣海洋生態保育。在不久的將來，我們會專注於海灘清潔活動，並會於本港不同的海灘舉行一系列的清潔活動。

The plastic pellet spill incident in 2012 has aroused a wide concern among many Hong Kong people. A lot of volunteers and groups initiated a number of shoreline clean-ups and ecobus was one of them!

Despite having beach clean-up events prior to the incident, ecobus had put much effort on educational activities such as field visits to marine parks and snorkelling to promote marine conservation. In the near future, we will also focus on beach cleaning and organize a number of beach clean-ups in different beaches in Hong Kong.
