He is actively involved in the study and preservation of horseshoe crabs, a species that has existed for over 400 million years and is now considered endangered in certain regions. Recently, he has been in the news for advocating the necessity of proper regulatory measures in ecological tourism development to protect the habitats of horseshoe crabs in Hong Kong, particularly in areas like 白泥 and 下白泥.
