Sha Chau and Lung Kwu Chau Marine Park designated
Sha Chau and Lung Kwu Chau has been designated as the third marine park in the territory following the approval of the draft map by the Executive Council last month.
A spokesman for the Agriculture and Fisheries Department (AFD) said today (Friday) that the designation of the marine park would enable this ecologically important marine area to be protected under the Marine Parks Ordinance.
