Hong Kong proposes marine park to protect coral reefs

Hong Kong authorities have proposed a new marine park in Sai Kung that will encompass the majority of the region's coral reefs. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department utilized underwater mapping technology to assess coral coverage and identify ecologically sensitive areas. This proposed 63-hectare park aims to protect key sites and threatened areas while balancing other user needs, though environmental groups have raised concerns about its relatively small size compared to existing parks.
