	Hong Kong dolphins lose the urge thanks to noise, pollution
		Hong Kong's famous pink dolphins are among nature's great survivors: for decades they have managed to scratch out an existence in some of the filthiest waters in Asia.
		Because they are so choosy about where they want to live, they confine their existence to a narrow stretch of water off Hong Kong's Lantau Island which, unfortunately, is also in the middle of one of the busiest stretches of waterway in the world.
		Beyond a widescale cleaning up of Hong Kong's waters -- the prospects of which are slim thanks to poor regulation of China's environmental protection laws -- experts fear little can be done to improve the plight of the dolphins, although awareness campaigns have increased public understanding of the creatures' problems.

	Grouper aggregation protection in proactive Pohnpei (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		University of Hong Kong, Department of Ecology and Biodiversity, Hong Kong
		This strategy appears to stem from a long-term view of resource use (by all branches of government, including a conservation-minded DRMD) that replaces short-term economic gains with a long-term view toward sustainability and self-reliance, as the local food economy depends on a steady supply of grouper for subsistence.
		With a diminishing supply of healthy spawning stocks within the central Pacific brought on largely by the Hong Kong-based LRFT and it’s destructive practices, it has become increasingly critical for local economies to ensure protection of their own resources.
