香港膠災是2012年發生在香港附近海域的一次海洋污染事件,而當中最受到影響的就是南丫島的居民。2012年7月23日,強颱風韋森特吹襲香港,鄰近海域普遍颳起颶風;導致一艘於香港南面水域的中海集運貨櫃船的7個貨櫃墮海,當中6個貨櫃裝滿由中國石化生產的聚丙烯膠粒,並在風暴過後於香港南面海域漂流。部分貨櫃遭海浪擊毀,使櫃內膠粒進入海洋,成為海洋垃圾,並隨水流散佈於香港南部海域及岸灘,造成廣泛環境及生態污染,同時影響本地漁業。
膠粒在風暴襲港翌日已陸續沖上海岸,並由愉景灣非政府組織DB Green成員率先發現。膠災之初,香港主流媒體基本沒有進行報導。清理工作基本由DB Green、香港海洋守護者協會及其他非政府組織主導,並透過社交網站以及網路媒體傳播消息。這些消息逐步在民間引起強烈反響,而在南丫島有大量市民自發到海岸清理。
Hong Kong is a plastic marine pollution disaster incidents in 2012 occurred in waters near Hong Kong, and is among the most affected residents of Lamma Island. July 23, 2012, Strong Typhoon Vicente hit Hong Kong and adjacent waters generally blowing a hurricane; lead ship in the container ship CSCL Hong Kong waters south of seven containers fell into the sea, of which six containers filled by Chinese petrochemical production of polypropylene particles and drifting after the storm in the southern waters of Hong Kong. Waves were destroyed part of the container, so that the cabinet particles into the ocean, become marine debris, and with the water spread in the southern waters of Hong Kong and a beach, causing extensive environmental and ecological pollution, and affect the local fishery.
Particles in the storm spell ashore the next day in succession, by Discovery Bay NGO DB Green members of the first to discover. The beginning of the glue disaster, the Hong Kong Basic no mainstream media coverage. Cleanup work basically led by DB Green, Hong Kong Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and other NGO and spread the message through social networking sites and Internet media. These messages are gradually aroused strong repercussions in the private sector, but there are a lot of people spontaneously in Lamma Island to the coast cleanup.
