HONG KONG (Reuters) – A population of rare Chinese white dolphins in Hong Kong’s coastal waters may be threatened by several upcoming construction projects including a proposed new airport runway, a dolphin conservation group has warned.
Around 200 Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins — commonly called Chinese white dolphins — survive in Hong Kong’s western waters near the Chek Lap Kok international airport on Lantau island.
