Here is an item of interest to swimmers.
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) announced today (July 30) that Hoi Mei Wan Beach in Tsuen Wan District, which was closed earlier due to maintenance of the shark prevention net and the sighting of a stingray, is now reopened and the red flag has been lowered.
A spokesman for the LCSD said the stingray had left the enclosed zone of the shark prevention net. The maintenance contractor had also completed inspection of the net at the beach, and confirmed that the net was in good condition and that there were no big fish inside the enclosed zone of the net.
The spokesman appealed to swimmers to swim in the enclosed zones of the shark prevention nets for the sake of safety, adding that LCSD staff would remain vigilant and strengthen patrols in the swimming zones.
