  • No-Take Zone at Hoi Ha Wan
    NO-TAKE ZONE AT HOI HA WAN THE ISSUE Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park was one of the first marine parks to be established in Hong Kong in 1996. It is recognized as a marine ecological hotspot due to its rich habitat diversity and presence of threatened species. Hoi Ha Wan has 64 species out of the 84 species of coral that occur in Hong Kong, and over 153 fishes, including the endangered Hong Kong grouper. Despite Hoi Ha Wan being a marine reserve, Hong Kong fishermen are still allowed to fish in the area through a licensing system, as in other marine parks. The government has proposed to ban all fishing activities by fishing vessels in some marine parks, including Hoi Ha Wan, though this will not be fully in place until the end of 2021 due to the long legislation and negotiation process involved. Local fishing by hook and line would still be allowed. No-take (that is, no fishing at all) marine reserves have proven to be a highly effective way to protect and restore coastal marine habitats, including coral reefs, and fish communities around the world. WWF is a strong advocate for developing a network of no-take zones within systems of marine protected areas to ensure healthy and resilient ecosystems, fisheries, and species populations. WHAT WE ARE DOING WWF-Hong Kong plans to engage the government and relevant stakeholders to launch a pilot no-take zone within the bay before the formal fishing ban, and conduct systematic baseline biodiversity surveys within the concerned area with involvement of experts, youth, citizen scientists, AFCD specialists and managers, fishers, and the public.

  • Marine Water Quality in Hong Kong in 2004 P 2.2 Mirs Bay Wcz Port Shelter Wcz Eastern Waters 2 Tolo Harbour & Channel Wcz
    MIRS BAY WCZ PORT SHELTER WCZ EASTERN WATERS 2 TOLO HARBOUR & CHANNEL WCZ Chapter 2 – Eastern Waters Water Quality in 2004 2.1 The eastern waters cover an area of 900 km2. They include three Water Control Zones (WCZs) i.e. the Mirs Bay, Port Shelter and Tolo Harbour & Channel WCZs. Mirs Bay is the eastern most water of Hong Kong and is under considerable oceanic influence. While Port Shelter opens to the southern part of Mirs Bay, Tolo Harbour is connected to northern part through a narrow channel. Port Shelter, Tolo Harbour and Crooked Harbour in Mirs Bay are gazetted secondary recreational waters. The general water quality of the eastern waters is good, supporting a variety of marine life including corals. There are three marine parks and 21 fish culture zones in the eastern waters (Figure 1.6). Mirs Bay Water Control Zone 2.2 Mirs Bay has good and stable water quality, with high dissolved oxygen (DO), low turbidity, nutrients and sewage bacteria. Starling Inlet in the northern part bordering Shenzhen is subject to localized effects of Sha Tau Kok town and has slightly higher pollutant levels. In 2004, Mirs Bay has experienced an increase of DO by 16% on average, in particular at the northern stations, e.g. MM1- MM7, also at MM13, MM19 (Table 2.4). The mean annual ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N) concentration in the bay was found to have increased by 57% (similar to some other waters). However, there was no marked increase in total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) or total inorganic nitrogen (TIN), and the chlorophyll-a level remained relatively stable indicating that there was no marked increase in phytoplankton biomass in the bay.

  • Hong Kong's Old Villages

Awareness of Hong Kong’s built heritage and its value is considered to have begun to increase around the time of the end of British rule. The change in Hong Kong’s sovereignty in 1997 prompted a search for its own identity, because while no longer under British rule, and not being nor becoming entirely Chinese, it was not immediately obvious what the emerging Hong Kong should put forward as its cultural identity. The question since that time has also become economically pertinent, as Hong Kong has developed into a major Asian tourist destination. As cultural tourism could be developed into one of the pillars of Hong Kong’s leisure economy, debate emerged on its identity and the built heritage it reflects. This article addresses the popular assumption that before 1997, heritage had been of little interest to Hong Kong’s governments, as articulated by Yung and Chan (2011), Henderson (2001) and Cheung (1999). This negligence was explained by the fact that Hong Kong’s population was growing exponentially through several waves of large-scale immigration, while being under an obviously temporary British government. This resulted in a heterogeneous population (Henderson, 2001) which had just migrated there and was more concerned about access to housing, employment and transportation than the history of the lands they were about to inhabit (Yung and Chan, 2011, 459).

    6 SEDIMENT QUALITY Chapter 6 – Sediment 6.1 Sediments in the sea bottom are often regarded as the ultimate sink of pollutants in the marine environment. They are also an important habitat for a variety of marine life, including ecologically and commercially important species. The organic and inorganic pollutants accumulated in sediments may pose a potential threat to marine organisms and human health, and therefore need to be monitored regularly. 6.2 In 2004, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) monitored marine sediments twice, at 45 stations in open waters (Figure 1.3) and 15 stations in typhoons shelters (Figure 1. 4). Sediment samples were collected using a grab sampler. Field measurements, e.g. electrochemical potential, were done on board the monitoring vessel and laboratory tests were conducted on over 60 physical, chemical and biological parameters (Table 1.3). A summary of the marine sediment quality in the territory in the past 5 years (2000–2004) is shown in Tables 6.1–6.6. 6.3 The marine sediments in Hong Kong consist mainly of silt. The sediments in the eastern waters, in particular the deeper and inshore water of Mirs Bay, are of a finer consistency, with 90% (w/w) of the sediment particles below the size of 63µm (Figure 6.1). In areas with stronger currents such as the North Western water and Victoria Harbour, the sediment particles are coarser and only about 40-80% of the particles are smaller than 63µm. 6.4 The marine sediments in Hong Kong are generally anoxic, i.e. with negative electrochemical potential.
