Board supports listing of Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay as a Ramsar site
The Town Planning Board was today (Friday) briefed on the Governor- in-Council's decision to approve the proposal to list Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay as a Ramsar site.
The Board was informed that consultation on the proposal was being carried out by the Agriculture and Fisheries Department with possible listing in May this year.
The listing would put an area of 1,500 hectares of wetland under protection.
In addition, financial allocation has been made for conducting a consultancy study soon to develop a comprehensive and active conservation management plan for the area.
Measures would include habitat creation and restoration, ecological survey and monitoring as well as vegetation and wildlife management.
