 Eunice
and Stacey, students from the Biology and Chemistry Department of City University,
took up the job of conducting a survey of how channelization of
rivers in the Deep Bay area affect the local ecology. They conducted
field visits to seven places, above that, the two young girls had to
dig up mud, taking pictures for record and collecting samples from
the rivers. Having done all these in just two month’s time is new to
them, but they do not complain. “It’s fun,” they said, “and we can
get first hand information about the rivers.”
Nicked name “potato,”Stacey said she had had a part time before,
but felt bored after working for a long period of time. But it is
totally different in The Conservancy Association. “You don’t have
time to feel bored, because there are new things waiting to be
learned every day.”
As for the channelization of rivers, they thought that it was
unavoidable in areas where serious flooding frequently occurred, but
undoubtedly, natural rivers were the home to various animals and
plants. They suggested that channelization should be done only
portion by portion.
Having worked for CA for the whole summer vacation, Eunice and
Stacey have learned more about us and they have joined CA as student
members! |
