"The study will also assess the carrying capacity of the Mai Po Nature Reserve and the fish ponds in the ecosystem as well as the cumulative impact of changes of land uses in the area.
"Further, it will review the current Buffer Zone (BZ) concept which is the basis of development control in the area and identify alternative beneficial uses in the wetland area apart from fish farming. "The findings of the study will serve as a basis for reviewing the relevant provision and planning intentions of the land use zonings on the outline zoning plans in the area."
The study is initiated as a response to the challenge to ecological value of the existing fish ponds within the BZ areas by some developers who have proposed residential developments in the area.
The study team will comprise experts on wetland ecology, wetland conservation and management, ornithology and environmental planning.
The study will commence this month for completion in 17 months.
