With a career in freshwater and marine biology extending over the last 50 years and beyond, Brian has researched numerous plants and animals of the sea’s shores in many parts of the world but, especially, Hong Kong where he lived for 34 years. And illustrated them in drawings and paintings, which will form the basis of this lecture. Plus, Brian has now started illustrating our terrestrial domain and this will also be examined. To celebrate the HKSAR Government’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, therefore, the Croucher Foundation has sponsored a visit to Hong Kong by Brian to give a public lecture on some of the amazing marine (and terrestrial) plants and animals he has researched and personally illustrated. From the tiniest creatures to the largest. From the ordinary to the strange and from the mundane to the weird. All, nevertheless, being important elements of the biodiversity we share this planet with. And which are, thus, deserving of our protection and, thereby, illustrating the importance of our Government’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan.
