Above: A Red Firefish swims past corals in the newly declared Hoi Ha Marine Park north
of Sai Kung - captured on film by the Hong Kong Underwater Association's director of photography, Mr Rocky Chang. By declaring the marine park and its adjoining marine reserve, the government is helping to conserve
some unusual aquatic plants and animals,
many of which are more commonly found
towards the equator and reach the northernmost extent of their range in Hong Kong.
