Ocean Lovers – Angelfish art show by artist Selva Ozelli for CUHK Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change, Hong Kong celebrates the role of the oceans in our everyday life and inspires action to protect reefs which occupy only 0.1 per cent of the global sea surfaces. But more than 25 per cent of marine biodiversity including Angelfish are supported by them.
Cecilia Lam, Chief Sustainability Officer, Director of Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change and Director of the Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Office at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, explained, “Beneath Hong Kong’s towering skyline lies a hidden treasure—rolling mountains and a vibrant sea. Few realize that our waters host a coral diversity surpassing even the Caribbean. At the Marine Science Laboratory of CUHK, dedicated researchers work tirelessly to restore coral reefs damaged by urbanization and pollution, breathing life back into the ocean’s fragile beauty while pioneering innovative ways to enhance coral resilience in the face of a changing climate.
