On Tuesday's Backchat, we took a deep dive into ocean conservation.
Local authorities recently released over 83,000 juvenile fish into Hong Kong waters, as part of a string of events to enrich marine resources. The initiative tied in with the annual National Fish Releasing Day on June 6. We spoke to marine experts to find out how we can better support a resilient and robust marine ecosystem.
After the break, we examined the latest student mental health situation, after Secretary for Education Christine Choi called for a "whole-school approach" to tackle the issue.
And finally, the government hailed “overwhelming support” from scholars, athletes, and youth groups for its plan to legalise basketball betting in the city, following the conclusion of a one-month public consultation last month. We spoke to a lawmaker about what the change may bring.
