  • Submission from Environmental Group-Tung Chung Residents
    CB(1)315/05-06(01) Keep Lantau beautiful! Comments on the Concept Plan for Lantau We suggest NOT to reclaim the Tung Chung Bay. Reasons for objection to the proposed reclamation Referring to the Concept plan for Lantau, the Planning Department (PD) planned to develop Tung Chung into a town with 220 000 population. And to reclaim the Tung Chung Bay. We are a group of Tung Chung residents, we have lived here for many years after years of observations and practical experience, we realize that Tung Chung should not be over-developed into a town with a population of 220 000. And the Tung Chung Bay should not be reclaimed. The reasons that the Tung Chung Bay should not be reclaimed are many, and are listed below. (1) Tung Chung Bay is the natural home for many plants, molluscs, arthropods, birds, animals, fishes, insects and reptiles etc. The Tung Chung Bay has an area of mangroves. The mangrove trees can absorb the humus and mineral substances from the mudflat and through photosynthesis these are turned into nutrition substances. These nutrition substances provide food for molluscs, arthropods, fishes, birds, animals etc. The food chain is very clear. We have seen many species of birds, like eagles, egrets, grey egrets, kingfishers, and many others (some birds are black in colour, with the size like egrets, they live in groups; some are very tiny—smaller than sparrows, with two special “horns” on their head, they live in pairs; we do not know the names.). The mangroves also provide a place for fish nurseries.
