The Leisure and Cultural Services Department announced today (July 1) that the Jockey Club Wong Shek Water Sports Centre and Tai Mei Tuk Water Sports Centre will be temporarily closed from tomorrow as the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department had confirmed that the two fishes seen by the public at Hoi Ha Wan on June 29 were shark.
The water sports activities at the artificial lake of Chong Hing Water Sports Centre will continue but all sea touring activities away from the centre will be suspended.
In the meantime staff of all gazetted beaches will keep a close watch on the water areas. They will remind the public to swim within swimming zones enclosed by shark protection nets which are inspected by contractors twice a week.
