  • 李國士,CBE(英語:Edward Hewitt Nichols,1925年12月29日-2016年1月29日),英國殖民地漁農官員,1965年12月至1980年1月任香港漁農處處長,1976年10月至1980年1月兼任立法局官守議員,是香港郊野公園的主要創建人之一。 李國士早年先後畢業於達拉謨大學英皇學院、劍橋大學皇后學院和帝國熱帶農業學院。在大學主修農業的他在1947年加入殖民地部,獲遣派到西非塞拉里昂的殖民地政府出任農業主任,其後於1954年和1957年分別升任高級農業主任和首席農業主任。他在當地主要從事大米種植研究,早年也曾經參與由英國廣播公司製作、大衛·艾登布祿擔任主持、名為《》的西非野生動物電視紀錄特輯。 1959年,李國士調到香港出任農林漁業管理處助理處長,1965年12月接替姬達出任漁農處處長。任內,香港的漁農業日益受到城市化等不利條件所帶來的壓力;有見及此,他提出以「慎密」政策支援本土漁農業,並積極推動農業機械化和對漁農業提供資助,使到漁業、蔬菜種植業和禽畜養殖業的生產量得以維持。面對香港人對鮮魚的龐大需求,他鼓勵和支援香港漁民到南中國海拓展漁場和開發,且推動以機動漁船取代傳統的風帆漁船,從而提升漁業的運作水平。終李國士一任,香港的漁農生產總值由1965年約2億港元躍增至1980年的11億港元,仍然能夠維持有限度的糧食自給。 (zh)
