  • 立法會cb(2)808/18-19(01)號文件
    立法會CB(2)808/18-19(01)號文件 附件一 Annex 1 Annex 1 Technical Guideline on Prevention and Control of Biting Midges Biting midges are fly belonging to the family Ceratopogonidae. Adults are about 1-4 mm long, dark-coloured with female possessing piercing and sucking mouthparts. 2. Larvae are aquatic or semi-aquatic, being found in damp places or in mud. Adults can usually hatch in about 40 days but cooler weather will lengthen the process to about several months. Adults rest in dense vegetation and sometimes shady places. They fly in zigzag patterns and seldom fly more than 100 meter from their breeding grounds; however, dispersal by wind is possible. Nevertheless, wind over 5 .6 kilometers/hour and temperatures below 10°C inhibit flying. In fact they are so fragile that cool and dry weather will shorten their longevity. Only female bite but they rarely do it indoors. Since they have short mouthparts, they cannot bite through clothing and so exposed body parts are more often attacked. 3. Irritation caused by bites of these midges can last for days, or even weeks. Scratching aggravates the pruritus and may lead to bacterial infection and slow­ healing sores. However, biting midges are not considered important vectors of human diseases locally. 4. Different genera ofCeratopogonidae vary in their habits and biology. The control methodology for different genera should be tailor-made so as to enhance the effectiveness of the control measures. Almost all Culicoides ()!f[~/!111) tend to be crepuscular or nocturnal feeders while Lasiohelea (@~)!ill) are diurnal and bite human at daytime.

  • Designing Victoria Harbour: Integrating, Improving, and Facilitating Marine Activities
    Designing Victoria Harbour: Integrating, Improving, and Facilitating Marine Activities By: Brian Berard, Jarrad Fallon, Santiago Lora, Alexander Muir, Eric Rosendahl, Lucas Scotta, Alexander Wong, Becky Yang CXP-1006 Designing Victoria Harbour: Integrating, Improving, and Facilitating Marine Activities An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Hong Kong, Ltd., Hong Kong Submitted on March 5, 2010 Sponsoring Agencies: Designing Hong Kong, Ltd. Harbour Business Forum On-Site Liaison: Paul Zimmerman, Convener of Designing Hong Kong Harbour District Submitted by: Brian Berard Eric Rosendahl Jarrad Fallon Lucas Scotta Santiago Lora Alexander Wong Alexander Muir Becky Yang Submitted to: Project Advisor: Creighton Peet, WPI Professor Project Co-advisor: Andrew Klein, WPI Assistant Professor Project Co-advisor: Kent Rissmiller, WPI Professor Abstract Victoria Harbour is one of Hong Kong‟s greatest assets; however, the balance between recreational and commercial uses of the harbour favours commercial uses. Our report, prepared for Designing Hong Kong Ltd., examines this imbalance from the marine perspective. We audited the 50km of waterfront twice and conducted interviews with major stakeholders to assess necessary improvements to land/water interfaces and to provide recommendations on improvements to the land/water interfaces with the goal of making Victoria Harbour a truly “living” harbour. ii Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsor, Paul Zimmerman, for his help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • Executive Summary
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is the most popular city tourism destination in Asia. Unfortunately, tourism activity is distributed unevenly throughout the SAR, with the northern New Territories largely excluded from the benefits of international tourism. This area is, however, popular with Hong Kong residents as a place for quality outdoor recreation. ii The School of Hotel and Tourism Management (HTM) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University has been commissioned by the Tourism Commission to examine the tourism potential of the Northern New Territories. Specifically, this study seeks to identify locations that are most likely to succeed in attracting local and international visitors, make recommendations and develop a series of immediate, medium and longer-term actions. iii As per the project proposal, the study team’s structured work plan included: • A situation analysis of the tourism potential, opportunities and constraints of the study area. • The identification of a number of zones or sub-regions with tourism potential • Detailed site inspections of each of these zones. • Identification of a range of options and concept ideas for each zone, including immediate, medium term and longer-term actions. iv The study area is defined as follows: • The northern limit is the frontier with Mainland China including the full length and width of the Frontier Closed Area (FCA) • In the west the study area terminates at the Mai Po Marshes and then follows approximately the KCR railway line, excluding Fanling and Sheng Shui • The eastern most point of the area under investigation is the island of Tung Ping Chau • The southern extremity of the study area runs to the north of Sheung Shui, along the western side of Tolo Harbour, into the Shing Mun River Channel and along the full length of the southern shores of Tolo Harbour and Tolo Channel including Three Fathoms Cove and Long Harbour v A number of localities in the study area already offer a variety of commercial tourism, recreation and food service facilities.
