  • Chapter 5 Provision of Aquatic Recreational and Sports Facilities
    Chapter 5 Provision of aquatic recreational and sports facilities Audit conducted a review to examine the provision and management of aquatic recreational and sports facilities by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and to ascertain whether there were areas for improvement. Gazetted beaches 2. According to paragraph 2.4(a) of the Audit Report, a consultant, who carried out a coastal safety audit on the beaches of Hong Kong in 2000, had advised that the Rocky Bay Beach should be deleted from the list of gazetted beaches because of safety reason and low usage. However, the LCSD considered that de-gazetting beaches was a sensitive issue and decided not to take further action. The Committee asked about the sensitivity of the de-gazetting and whether the LCSD would de-gazette the beach. 3. In response, Ms Anissa WONG Sean-yee, Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, said that: - in deciding to close the Rocky Bay Beach because of its poor water quality, the Administration had considered whether the beach should be de-gazetted. At that time, the Administration was of the view that it should consider the development of the beach water quality. It was also concerned that the relevant District Council and beach goers might consider that they might need to observe the development of the issue for a period of time; and - taking into account the current situation of the water quality, the usage of the beach, as well as other factors, such as the usage rate of the Shek O Beach, the LCSD agreed in principle to Audit’s recommendation that the Rocky Bay Beach be de-gazetted.

  • Study on South East New Territories Development Strategy Review - Draft Recommended Development Strategy
    LC Paper No. CB(1)514/00-01(03) For discussion on 5.2.2001 LegCo Panel on Planning, Lands and Works Study on South East New Territories Development Strategy Review - Draft Recommended Development Strategy PURPOSE 1. This paper presents an overview of the draft Recommended Development Strategy (RDS) for South East New Territories (SENT) sub-region for Members' discussion and comments. BACKGROUND 2. The current sub-regional plan for SENT, covering Sai Kung and Tseung Kwan O Districts, was completed in 1989 and has become out-dated. The Study on SENT Development Strategy Review was commissioned in March 1999 to formulate an up-to- date planning and development strategy for the sub-region up to year 2016, in particular to facilitate conservation, tourism and recreation development. Since Tseung Kwan O is already the subject of a separate on-going new town development study, the Study concentrates its investigation on the Sai Kung District and its interface with the New Town. STUDY PROCESS 3. The Study has been conducted in four integrated stages, with the first three stages largely completed, as follows: (a) Stage 1: Planning information and baseline data were compiled which provided the basis to identify constraints, opportunities and key issues of the Study Area. (b) Stage 2: Concept plans were prepared for generation of three Initial Development Options with emphasis on conservation (upgrading), recreation (moderate development) and tourism (high growth). The "Recreation" option was found to outperform the other two options. While these options were not mutually exclusive, the “Recreation” option was further improved by incorporating beneficial components identified in other options.

  • Marine Protected Areas
    MARINE PROTECTED AREAS THE ISSUE Hong Kong's special geographic location and hydrographic conditions contribute to the region’s diverse and productive coastal habitats. To date, close to 6,000 marine species have been recorded in Hong Kong, which makes the city's biodiversity comparatively rich compared to many other regions of the world. However, this currently face numerous threats from development, unregulated fishing practices, escalating marine traffic, and marine litter. Other threats loom: a total of 2,000 hectares of local waters are planned for reclamation and development in the decades ahead. Not only is the marine biodiversity in local waters at stake, but some previously common commercially important fish species are close to extirpation. Currently only 5% of Hong Kong waters are designated or planned as marine protected areas (MPA) by 2023, which is grossly inadequate to conserve Hong Kong’s precious marine resources, especially after decades of intense coastal development. Less than 0.1% are true no-take zones. The rest of Hong Kong’s coastal waters receive little or no protection. This is in stark contrast to the protected land network where 40% of the land is designated as country parks in Hong Kong. Properly managed MPAs can play a critical role in both protecting biodiversity and generating many social and economic benefits within and outside their boundaries. A 20-year overview of Hong Kong’s marine parks system found numerous shortcomings: • No clear target or date for future MPA areas; • No transparent long-term MPA health check data; • Minimal stakeholder involvement; • No clear management plan for the existing MPAs; • No proactive, science-based MPA selection process; and, • Fishing with permits is still allowed in the vast majority of MPAs.

ABSTRACT This project, completed at the WPI Hong Kong Project Center in collaboration with the Harbour Business Forum and Designing Hong Kong, evaluates the future of water taxis in Victoria Harbour. Water taxis exist in Hong Kong, and our team found that there is demand for this service; we observed and interviewed providers of current water taxi type services as well as gauged public interest through a survey. Based on frequent consultation with public and private stakeholders, we developed a vision for the future of water taxis. We recommend a phased development plan for the organization of water taxis in Hong Kong. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank all of the following organizations and individuals for helping with the completion of this project: DESIGNING HONG KONG AND THE HARBOUR BUSINESS FORUM: In particular, thank you to our liaisons, Margaret Brooke, Kira Brownlee, Cynthia Chan, Jackson Hui, and Paul Zimmerman, for providing us with constant support, contacts, and feedback.
