To this end, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) had to undertake a number of preparation tasks, including facilities planning, frontline management, staff training, knowledge building, publicity and education. In 2009, AFCD was heavily engaged in preparations, especially in the areas of education and publicity.

  • For Discussion on 23 February 2009 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL
    CB(1) 807/08-09(04) For discussion on 23 February 2009 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS Proposal to set up a Geopark in Hong Kong PURPOSE This paper seeks members’ advice on the proposal to set up a geopark in Hong Kong. BACKGROUND 2. Most people have the impression that Hong Kong is a crowded concrete jungle with only tower blocks and shopping malls. Less people are aware of the fact that we also have sylvan environments of stunning natural beauty. In this small territory of 1,100 square kilometres, more than half of the land is wooded mountains and ravines. While much of Hong Kong’s wild terrains boast high biodiversity, which has attracted growing attention in recent years, also harboured within our landscape are some extraordinary but lesser known geodiversity, such as multifarious rock formations and geographical features. In last year’s Policy Address, as a part of the Government’s continuous effort to enhance overall quality of life, the Chief Executive announced that the Government would set up its first geopark under the framework of the Country Parks Ordinance and Marine Parks Ordinance, with a view to better conserving our geological landscapes as well as promoting geoeducation and geoscience popularization. 3. The Geopark programme was initiated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1999, and was launched in 2004. The definition of geopark is “geological site of special scientific significance, rarity or beauty; together with geological significance, these sites must also have high archaeological, ecological, historical or cultural value”. At present there are 57 global geoparks worldwide, which are located in 18 countries, and 20 of these parks are in the Mainland.

Climate of Sai Kung District 2. Sai Kung District is located at the southeastern part of Hong Kong covering the areas of Sai Kung, Tseung Kwan O and Hang Hau, with a mountain range of Shek Uk Shan, Ma On Shan and Buffalo Hill in north and Tate’s Cairn and Kowloon Peak in west. The District consists of many offshore islands of various sizes covering widely the southeastern part of Hong Kong waters, including the more familiar islands like Kau Sai Chau, Ninepin Group and Tung Lung Chau. The urban centre is located at the relatively flat areas at Sai Kung and Tseung Kwan O. The climate of Sai Kung District is blended with the characteristics of ocean, urban and high ground. Annual mean temperature is around 22.9 degrees. The annual total rainfall is about 2200 millimetres on average with around 84% recorded in the rainy season spanning from May to September. Monitoring Stations in the Sai Kung District 3. The Observatory has established seven Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) in the Sai Kung District which are located at the Sai Kung Marine East Division Headquarters, Kau Sai Chau, Pak Tam Chung, Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung Sam Yuk Middle School, Pak Tam Au and Leung Shuen Wan respectively. 4. The AWSs at the Sai Kung Marine East Division Headquarters (hereafter as Sai Kung), Pak Tam Chung and Tseung Kwan O collect various meteorological information including wind direction, wind speed, air temperature and relative humidity.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION 1) Background In many people’s minds, Hong Kong is the “Pearl of the Orient” and a compact cosmopolitan city of skyscrapers and shopping arcades. Whether it is the foreign tourists or the locals, they always envision activities like shopping and sightseeing as the tourists’ ultimate activities. Renowned landmarks like the Peak and Tsing Ma Bridge are seen as the must-goes and final stops on their itineraries. However, few seem to realize the city has its peculiar and exotic side. With its rich cultural diversity, more than 260 outlying islands, 100 walking trails, 4 marine parks, Hong Kong promises wonderful landscapes, dramatic and stunning rock formations, craggy mountains, quaint villages, inviting flora and fauna, abundant cultural heritage which cater for not only the interests of the shoppers but also the most adventurous explorers. It is well worth the efforts to explore these charming rural retreats in Hong Kong. The aim of this project is to examine these adventurous places in Hong Kong. As there are many hotels tourists can choose from in Tsim Sha Tsui, we will start our exploration of these adventurous places from there. 1 B) Definitions and our understanding of Adventure Tourism Definitions According to the information given by Queensland Tourism Board, adventure tourism can be classified into two main categories, namely i) Hard adventure tourism ii) Soft adventure tourism There is a distinction between the two kinds of adventure tourism. For hard adventure tourism, it combines a unique experience in an outdoor setting with excitement and a degree of risk. It frequently demands physical exertion as well as a level of skill.

  • 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.
