    For Discussion TFWL/01/2018 on 12 July 2018

    Task Force on Water-land Interface For discussion TFWL/01/2018 on 12 July 2018 An Update on the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme PURPOSE This paper provides an update of the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS) and the improvement it brings to the water quality of Victoria Harbour. BACKGROUND 2. The HATS, formerly known as the Strategic Sewage Disposal Scheme (SSDS), is the largest sewerage infrastructure project in Hong Kong. Aimed at improving the water quality of Victoria Harbour, the Scheme comprises 16 preliminary treatment works (PTWs) across the districts around Victoria Harbour, a total of 44 km length of deep sewage conveyance tunnels, the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works (SCISTW) and a submarine outfall for the discharge of treated effluent (Figure 1). The system serves over 5.7 million population, and can handle 2.45 million cubic metres of sewage per day, equivalent to the volume of 1,000 Olympic- sized swimming pools. 3. The project was implemented in two Stages. Stage 1, which serves the Kowloon, Tseung Kwan O, Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung, Chai Wan and Shau Kei Wan areas, was commissioned in December 2001. Stage 2A of the project was subsequently commissioned in December 2015, extending the areas served to cover northern and western Hong Kong Island. In between these, the disinfection system in the SCISTW was put into operation in March 2010. 4. Further details about the implementation of HATS are detailed in the paper ref. TFWL/03/2016 presented to the Task Force on 24 October 2016 at Annex 1. Task Force on Water-land Interface TFWL/01/2018 Figure 1 – The Harbour Area Treatment Scheme IMPROVEMENTS FROM HATS 5.

    Recovery of Tropical Marine Benthos After a Trawl Ban Demonstrates Linkage Between Abiotic and Biotic Changes ✉ ✉ Zhi Wang 1,2,3, Kenneth M

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-01732-y OPEN Recovery of tropical marine benthos after a trawl ban demonstrates linkage between abiotic and biotic changes ✉ ✉ Zhi Wang 1,2,3, Kenneth M. Y. Leung 4,5,7 , Yik-Hei Sung 6, David Dudgeon 4 & Jian-Wen Qiu 1,2 Bottom trawling, which is highly detrimental to seabed habitats, has been banned in some jurisdictions to mitigate the problems of habitat destruction and overfishing. However, most reports of ecosystem responses to trawling impacts originate from temperate latitudes, focusing on commercial species, and recovery of invertebrate macrobenthos from trawl ban has hardly ever been studied in the tropics. In Hong Kong (lat. 22.4°N), a history of intensive 1234567890():,; trawling with various types of gears has long degraded coastal ecosystems. To facilitate the recovery of fisheries resources and associated benthic ecosystems, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region implemented a territory-wide trawl ban on December 31, 2012. Comparison of surveys conducted in June 2012 (before the trawl ban) and June 2015 (2.5 years after the ban) revealed higher organic contents in sediment and lower suspended-solid loads in water column, as well as a significant increase in site-based abundance, species richness, functional diversity and among-site similarity of macrobenthos after the trawl ban. Our results suggest that the imposition of a trawl ban can be an effective measure for biodiversity conservation in tropical coastal waters. 1 Department of Biology, Hong Kong Baptist University, Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China. 2 Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Guangzhou), Guangzhou, China.

    10. HONG KONG's STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE UNDER CHINESE SOVEREIGNTY Tai Ming Cheung Hong Kong Has Come a Long Way Since It Was

    - 170 - 10. HONG KONG’S STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE UNDER CHINESE SOVEREIGNTY Tai Ming Cheung Hong Kong has come a long way since it was dismissed as a barren rock a century and a half ago. This bastion of freewheeling capitalism today is a leading international financial, trading and communications center serving one of the world’s fastest growing economic regions. But Hong Kong is also entering a period of considerable change and uncertainty following its reversion to Chinese sovereignty that is likely to have a far- reaching impact on its strategic importance and role over the coming years. As a British colony, Hong Kong was an important outpost for the West to keep an eye on China and safeguard busy sea-lanes. Under Chinese rule, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) will play a crucial role in boosting China’s economic growth and promoting Beijing’s long-term goal of reunification with Taiwan. How China handles Hong Kong’s return will have major consequences for the territory as well as for China’s relations with the international community. The world will be watching very carefully whether Beijing will adhere to its international commitments of allowing the SAR to retain a high degree of autonomy. The U.S. has said that the transition will be a key issue in determining its future relations with China. This paper will examine the strategic implications of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule. Several key issues will be explored: • Hong Kong's past and present strategic significance. • The stationing of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in Hong Kong.
