AFCD and SWIMS Enhance Collaboration in Managing and Disseminating Biodiversity Data

2023-01-17

The forthcoming Biodiversity Geographic Information System (BGIS), which is expected to be launched in 2024 as part and parcel of the HKBIH, will facilitate the sharing of spatial data of local species. AFCD and the Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) of the University of Hong Kong today entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for enhanced collaboration in managing and disseminating marine biodiversity data. The MoU was signed by the Assistant Director (Conservation) of the AFCD, Mr Simon Chan, and the Director of SWIMS, Professor Gray Williams. The AFCD and SWIMS endeavour to make the HKBIH a more comprehensive data repository to foster better understanding and conservation of Hong Kong's wealth of biodiversity.
