Abstract
The aims of the project were:
• To introduce technological concepts into marine environment and conservation education programmes.
• To publicise the work currently being carried out by WWF and City University of Hong Kong in this area.
• To enhance the awareness of Hong Kong teachers and students to marine conservation.
• To provide a platform for design and technology students to partake in a practical design exercise with observable objectives.
• To promote the development of technical, problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.
