Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Dongjiang Water Supply to Hong Kong - Good Water Good Fish Logo Design Competition open for entries
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Dongjiang water supply to Hong Kong, the Water Supplies Department (WSD) is organising the Good Water Good Fish Logo Design Competition with the full support of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD). The competition, aiming to promote local fish grown in reservoirs supplied with high-quality Dongjiang water, is supported by the internationally renowned artist, Dr Kan Tai-keung, who will serve as one of the adjudication panel members. Members of the public are welcome to submit their entries from today (June 27) until August 31. The winning entry will be used as the logo for high-quality fish products from local reservoirs. For more details, please visit the Water Supplies Department's website.
After arriving in Hong Kong, some Dongjiang water is temporarily stored in local reservoirs, such as the Plover Cove Reservoir. The WSD regularly releases fish fry into the Plover Cove Reservoir and catches the mature fish to maintain ecological balance and preserve good water quality. The Plover Cove Reservoir was registered as an accredited fish farm under the AFCD's Accredited Fish Farm Scheme at the end of last year, marking the first registration of a local impounding reservoir. Thus, the fish caught from the reservoir are recognised for their remarkable quality. To make efficient use of these resources in reservoirs, the WSD will collaborate with the Fish Marketing Organization to produce fish products using quality fish from the Plover Cove Reservoir, including fish meat siu mai and fish soup, which are expected to be available on the market as early as the third quarter of this year.
The AFCD's Accredited Fish Farm Scheme includes farm registration, aquatic fry registration, and quality assurance systems to ensure that fish farm products are local, safe, high-quality, and low-carbon. For more details, please visit the Accredited Fish Farm Scheme's website.

"Wellness Weekends" concludes successfully
The "Wellness Weekends" organised by the Narcotics Division (ND) of the Security Bureau, came to a successful close today (May 24) at Tsuen Wan Park. The event comprised three stops, with six family yoga workshops held in April and May at Kai Tak Station Square, Tamar Park and Tsuen Wan Park.
Through simple and enjoyable family yoga sessions, the event encouraged parents and children to stretch their bodies and minds together, develop healthy living habits, and strengthen family bonds through relaxed and positive interaction. It also promoted positive thinking and resilience, helping families build the strength to resist drug temptation in everyday life.
The venue was filled with a warm and lively atmosphere. In addition to the family yoga workshops, there were also the "Drug-free Camp" pop-up anti-drug game booth and a family AI photo booth, where participants could take photos with the anti-drug ambassadors, "Agent Don't" and "Agent Hope". Through games, photo-taking and interactive activities, participants learned about difference between healthy and harmful choices in an engaging and entertaining way, further reinforcing their awareness of the dangers of drugs.
Highlights of the "Wellness Weekends" have been uploaded to the ND's official accounts (narcotics.divisionhk) on Facebook and Instagram, where members of the public may revisit the event highlights.
