On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about the stranded whale that died in the waters off Tai O.

Experts say a bag found in the whale's digestive system likely contributed to the death, and there were also superficial injuries on its carcass.

It's not the first time a whale has been found dead in Hong Kong waters, with a young male dying last summer from suspected propeller injuries.

So have our waters become too dangerous for marine mammals? Will government proposals to ban some whale-watching activities help?

After 9:30, we'll speak to environmentalists who are back from a conference in South Korea on how to reduce plastic pollution.

After 9:45, we'll talk to a cardiologist, as Hong Kong is on track to record its lowest number of heart transplants since 2011.

Tell us what you think. You can call us anytime on 23388266, WhatsApp us on 68998518, email backchat@rthk.hk or comment on our Facebook page.

On The Close today, Carolyn Wright will be talking markets with David Roche, President and Global Strategist at Quantum Strategy and Hugh Chung, Chief Investment Advisory Officer at Endowus.

And in true Monday fashion, we'll be shining the spotlight at another startup in the region, as Jenny Ortiz Bolivar speaks to Macy Castillo, Co-Founder and CEO of Enstack, an AI-powered mobile app that enables anyone to be an entrepreneur.

Wrapping up the show will be Hayley Haupt, Partner and APAC Wealth Management Lead at Capco, who discusses key trends and themes in wealth management in the region.
