Erratum: Shark Nets in Hong Kong
It was stated in the article entitled "Shark nets in Hong Kong" in Shark News 4
that a shark hunt which took place in Hong Kong in 1993 was government-funded.
This is not correct. The shark hunter brought into Hong Kong was funded by
a Hong Kong newspaper and subsequently received assistance and support from
various government departments in effecting the hunt.

installation and maintenance of shark prevention nets in Hong Kong.
