The formation of the flushing channel will permit retention of shoreline communities on North Lantau, although changes to wave exposure and localized tidal flushing may cause the present rock cliff and sandy shore communities to be replaced over time by sheltered rocky communities dominated by oysters, or muddy shore communities.
It is proposed that the impacts of airport construction on terrestrial flora and fauna, and on the island's birdlife, be mitigated through the creation or preservation of similar habitats at other locations within the territory.
