Summary Hong Kong has no rich heritage of marine biological research, few 19th century expeditions came to explore and few marine scientists of stature have worked here for prolonged periods. In 1928, Dr. G.A.C. Herklots filled the first biological post at the University of Hong Kong, but it was not until 1950 that the first Chair of Zoology was established and not until 1960, the first Chair of Botany. Thus, in reality, natural science is still in its infancy in Hong Kong.
