Ecological restoration with oyster shell reefs
About Sham Wan
Lamma island, the third largest island in Hong Kong, is characterized by its prevailing natural shoreline that nurtures species of high conservation value such as coral species and the endangered Green Turtle. The expansion of the restricted area and extension of the restricted period from 1 June to 31 October at Sham Wan will reduce disturbances to the breeding and nesting of green turtle by active boating and fishing activities in the bay and also provides a unique opportunity to design, implement and evaluate artificial reefs based on natural components to further enhance marine biodiversity and ecosystem functions of the bay.
