About the organisation
BLOOM Association Hong Kong (BLOOM HK) was established on 8th June 2009 World Ocean Day, as a locally based NGO to carry out research, campaign and education work related to topics of marine conservation. While sharks and the shark fin trade have been from the very start a core focus of BLOOM HK's research and programmes, and continues to remain so, our work has since grown to give attention to other topics that are also of pressing conservation significance in Hong Kong, including the live reef food fish trade, sustainable seafood, trade in mobulid gill plates, and local marine biodiversity conservation and research. Apart from conducting scientific research projects such as the 114°E Hong Kong Reef Fish Survey Survey, BLOOM HK also strives to educate not only students and the general public, but also the key stakeholders in each marine issue to drive positive change. It is our core belief that while we are often part of the problem in marine conservation issues, we can also make the choice to be a part of the solution.
Mission
To resist the fate of an overfished, barren ocean in the future, by proving that dedicated action can reverse the course of environmental and human tragedy. Giving a voice to the voiceless; ensuring that humanity has a future where children have food and fishermen have jobs, by restoring ocean ecosystems to their full biological capacity.
