很久以前,中華白海豚會在大嶼山附近出沒。隨著香港的急速發展,他們也不斷遷徙。監察團隊會記錄他們的狀況,亦曾嘗試保護他們的棲息地。在過程中,很多海豚失蹤和意外身亡了。
我發現,區內原本豎立了很多海豚雕像,彷彿這樣所有一切都可以被補償。

The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin used to live near Lantau Island a long time ago. As urban development accelerated in Hong Kong, they began to migrate away. Trackers would observe and record their latest movements and also attempt to conserve their habitats. During this process, many of the dolphins have gone missing, that is if one assumes they have not met an untimely death related to human activity. This is why several commemorative statues have been erected in the community as if that makes up for their loss.
