Summit Attendees Spend “A Morning at the Markets”

Summit attendees who signed up for the pre-Summit field trip had the opportunity to explore the culture and history of the Hong Kong wet markets and the Aberdeen harbor, and learn first-hand about local perceptions of seafood relating to ocean and human health, and local initiatives working on seafood sustainability.
Local partners including WWF-HK, Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department HK and the Fish Marketing Organization guided the group through the Fisheries Education Centre and then into the wholesale market in Aberdeen, a typical wet market in Ap Lei Chau.
The group then took a ferry across the harbor to the double-story floating restaurant, Jumbo Kingdom.
