On September 5, Otto Poon Center for Climate Resilience and Sustainability supported the "Class at Sea: Marine Science for Global Citizens" program. This innovative initiative enabled students to virtually explore deep-sea environments alongside marine scientists through live sharing and interactive demonstrations. Students witnessed mysterious marine organisms and unique deep-sea habitats while learning about marine science. The program enhanced youth's understanding of marine science and inspired their interest in ocean conservation, contributing to Hong Kong's role as an international maritime hub in marine environment protection and sustainable development.
