AFCD launches "Fish enJoy" Scheme to promote development of leisure fisheries (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Government announced today (September 29) the launch of the "Fish enJoy" Scheme to facilitate mariculture rafts and inland fish farms engaged in aquaculture production, with a view to promoting the development of leisure fisheries in Hong Kong.

     A Government spokesman said, "The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) has launched the 'Fish enJoy' Scheme to enable fish farms engaged in aquaculture production to operate fisheries-related ancillary businesses, enriching the fishing experience for members of the public and tourists, promoting fisheries products and increasing fish farmers' income."

     Taking reference to the arrangement of the "Agri enJoy" scheme, participating fish farms under the "Fish enJoy" Scheme can operate ancillary businesses, including leisure fishing, on-farm sale of self-cultured fisheries products, sale of food products prepared using self-cultured fisheries products through non-flame cooking, and the provision of fisheries education activities (such as guided tours, fish farming and harvesting experiences and workshops). 

     To enable "Fish enJoy" fish farms to undertake the above fisheries-related ancillary activities, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department will consider adopting more suitable requirements for food business licences, taking into account the unique environment of mariculture rafts and inland fish farms, while ensuring food safety and environmental hygiene.

     The spokesman added that the AFCD will enhance the promotion of "Fish enJoy" fish farms through various channels such as websites and social media platforms. The AFCD will also continue to organise and participate in large-scale events to further promote leisure fisheries in Hong Kong.

     The "Fish enJoy" Scheme is now open for applications. Eligibility criteria and other details can be found on the following website: www.afcd.gov.hk/english/fisheries/LF/LF_fishenjoy.html.
