IT is only once you are on a ferry travelling from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central, that you become fully aware of the sad state of our famous Victoria Harbour. It is an awful experience to see what has been and is being done and it makes me feel very sad by the time the ferry has reached Central. Some people ask, 'Who cares?'. Well, I, for one, do care. The non-stop reclamation is not only destroying the visual beauty of the harbour, but it is undoubtedly adversely affecting marine life. I am a nature lover. I love beaches and the sea and it saddens me to see the water quality getting worse, which leads to a decrease in the number of fish. I love marine life and I hate to see this happening. Not all of us are obsessed with the worship of money. It is high time that the Government considered the feelings of those of us who want to improve the environment. JEFF LAM Kowloon
