During 2019/20, Ocean Park has donated HK$5,008,859 to support OPCFHK’s efforts to promote conservation and education about Asian and local biodiversity. $1 from each paid admission ticket, and a portion of every sale of panda merchandise, in-Park food and beverage revenue and animal encounter programmes is dedicated to OPCFHK.
In addition, Ocean Park continues to support conservation projects about the impact of climate change on wildlife by dedicating a portion of its revenue on designated peak days from parking surcharges and Tuxedos Restaurant. Ocean Park donates the revenue from its plastic bag levy to OPCFHK, as well as the revenue from paid admission tickets on the first day of the annual Ocean Park Conservation Day event. OPCFHK also received a donation of HK$307,285, raised through donation boxes and Octopus machines at Ocean Park. In 2019/20, two new in-park donation kiosks were set up. One was installed and has been in operation at the Grand Aquarium since December 2019, and another at the Ocean Theatre since May 2020.
Apart from cash donations, Ocean Park provides veterinary expertise and animal care during fresh carcass necropsies and live stranding rescues when needed to OPCFHK’s Marine Life Stranding Response Team. As always, OPCFHK is exceptionally grateful for all of Ocean Park’s generous support.
