Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Dongjiang Water Supply to Hong Kong - Good Water Good Fish Logo Design Competition open for entries (with photo)
******************************************************************************************
     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.
