On this programme, we look into a scheme launched by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department that allows fishing vessels to carry passengers at sea and offer fishing trips.
Then, we look back at the Around the Island Race that was held in Victoria Harbour on Saturday. The annual race brought together an extraordinary variety of boats, from dinghies and one-design classes to sportsboats, multihulls, and some of Hong Kong’s largest racing yachts.
After the break, we find out more about research by the Chinese University of Hong Kong that revealed how a common hormonal and metabolic disorder in women can affect their children's health.
And to wrap up the show, a district councillor tells all about Diwali, also known as the 'Festival of Lights,' and how South Asian communities across Hong Kong celebrate throughout the week.
9:05am-9:21am: "Fish enJoy" Scheme
Speaker:
Yau Wing-kwong, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Association
9:22am-9:30am: Around the Island Race 2026
Speaker:
