  • 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.

    Countryside Conservation Funding Scheme Research Activities on Countryside Conservation and Revitalisation Project Number EP86/27/24/11-10 Project Proponent Centre for Chinese Architecture and Urbanism, HK Urban Lab, Faculty of Architecture of The University of Hong Kong Project Title Conservation and Revitalisation Strategies for Architecture and Landscape of Hakka Village Spaces in Sha Tau Kok Target Site Four villages in Sha Tau Kok district (Cheng Uk village in Nam Chung, Chan Uk village in Luk Keng, Fung Hang Village and Lo Wai village in Kuk Po) Project Description* Sha Tau Kok’s coastal region, east of Hoi Pui Leng mountain facing the Starling Inlet, stands a dozen of Hakka Settlements developed in centuries. These include Nam Chung and Luk Keng, the Nam- Luk Coalition as one of the district’s ten traditional inter-village alliances, as well as Fung Hang and Kuk Po villages in their east, forming an integral village landscape and ecological network along the coastal line. In addition to a good number of remaining traditional dwellings with traditional masonry and rammed earth construction, these cluster settlements also anchored upon an environmental setting with unique agricultural landscape and natural ecosystem: paddy field, fish pond, Fung Shui wood, as well as mangrove inter-tidal wetland where freshwater streams and tides meet. Facing challenges of countryside population aging and deterioration, the proposed project addressed traditional architecture, landscape environment and social culture of the four target villages as the focus of the study - Cheng Uk in Nam Chung, Chan Uk in Luk Keng, Fung Hang, and Lo Wai in Kuk Po – exploring methods of restoring, conserving, and revitalizing the heritage architecture and village spaces in the rural settlement, along with their culture landscape and ecology.
