The Chinese white dolphin carnival, which was co-organized by Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) and the Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society (HKDCS), ended with great success. The carnival is one of the key parts of the promotional activities for code-of-conduct in dolphin watching . At the carnival, qualified dolphin ambassadors were presented with certificates. Exhibition panels and game booths were also set up at the venue for members of the public.

The carnival was held on 26 Sept 2004 from 2 to 6 pm at Discovery Park of Tsuen Wan. Before the game booths started to operate, AFCD and HKDCS presented certificates to those ambassadors who had completed the training sessions and provided dolphin watching guiding service to the tour operators during the Dolphin Conservation Month. Mr. Thomas Chan, J.P., the Director of AFCD, Professor Kwai-cheong Chau, the Chairman of the Country and Marine Parks Board, and Professor Paul Lam, our Honorary Advisor, , were invited to be our Guests of Honor.

The carnival commenced when some 100 dolphin balloons rose from the stage! The game booths were the most popular part of the carnival with many long queues. With a certain amount of scores, participants could get a variety of souvenirs. Of those, dolphin balloons were the best-liked by kids - these were their dream souvenirs!

The carnival ended at around 6 pm. It was estimated that around 3,000 people had attended the carnival. We all felt very excited about this as this number was much higher than expected!
