The rapid increase in high
speed ferry operations over
the past decade has been
blamed for a big drop in the
number of Chinese White
Dolphins. The Hong Kong
Dolphin Conservation Society
said the population has halved during that period.
A survey last year put the number in waters around Lantau Island at about 78. The Society's chairman, Dr Samuel Hung, said the government should consider diverting high speed ferries away from dolphin areas.
