Shark warnings remain in force

*

The shark warning flags now hoisted at eight Sai Kung beaches would remain in force.

The decision was reached following reports that two sharks had been sighted between the Clear Water Bay First and Second beaches at around 6.30 am last Wednesday (July 26).

The Deputy Secretary for Recreation and Culture, Mrs Rachel Cartland, today (Friday) urged the public not to swim or engage in water activities in Sai Kung waters for the time being. "It is important that the public are aware of the risks involved if they themselves choose to enter the water at ungazetted beaches," she warned.
