Water Margin: Hong Kong’s Link to the Sea

Was in Hong Kong recently and bumped into an old friend Matt Flynn, who knows more about ships, ports and all things shipping and water-related in Asia than any one has a right to. And interested to know that he’s published a book, Water Margin: Hong Kong’s Link to the Sea, with all proceeds going to the Ocean Recovery Alliance.

As far as I know the book in on Amazon and in all good bookshops in Hong Kong.

Ocean Recovery Alliance and Hong Kong-based Flynn Consulting have collaborated to publish Water Margin: Hong Kong’s Link to the Sea, a book featuring exquisite photography and engaging stories about Hong Kong’s magnificently unique aquatic landscape.

Doug Woodring, founder of Ocean Recovery Alliance, says, “Our book is an appreciation of Hong Kong’s maritime resources in all aspects ranging from heritage, culture and recreation, to the breathtaking natural geography and wildlife. It is our intention that the stories and photos in this book initiate response and commitment to creating a future for Hong Kong waters as a sustainable asset for the next generation.”

The key photographer of Water Margin is Robin Moyer, a professional photographer for nearly 40 years including 16 years with TIME Magazine. Robin’s work has won him many awards and citations including ‘World Press Picture of the Year’ for his work on the war in Lebanon. Copies of some of the photographs from the book will be on display and for sale.

This bilingual (English/Chinese) hardback book will make an excellent Christmas present! Proceeds from the sale of both the book and the photographs will go to Ocean Recovery Alliance, a Hong Kong registered charity which aims to introduce innovative projects and initiatives that will help improve the ocean environment.
