The Government launched today (June 12) a dedicated webpage for the public engagement exercise on the feasibility study on the proposed Coastal Protection Park (CPP) at Tsim Bei Tsui, Lau Fau Shan and Pak Nai, inviting views from the public and various sectors of the community.

     The main functions of the proposed CPP are to conserve the natural coastline and the nearshore mangrove and marsh habitats in these areas; to protect the important coastal ecosystem and biodiversity to serve as the feeding, roosting and breeding habitats for waterbirds and other wetland wildlife; to preserve the natural landscape of Deep Bay coastal areas; to provide opportunities for eco-recreation; and to support the existing pond fish culture and oyster farming.

      The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department commissioned a consultant to take forward the feasibility study on the proposed CPP in December 2024. The feasibility study covers recommendations of the CPP boundaries, baseline reviews, proposed usages, management strategies, conceptual plans and relevant technical feasibility assessments. The feasibility study is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The consultant will take into account views collected during the public engagement exercise when preparing the final recommendations for submission to the Government.

     The public engagement exercise will end on July 31, 2026. During this period, the relevant departments will conduct briefing sessions and meetings with relevant stakeholders to seek their views. Members of the public are welcome to visit the dedicated webpage for the public engagement exercise (www.afcd.gov.hk/english/conservation/con_mar/con_mar_cpp/con_mar_cpp.html) to review the preliminary recommendations under the feasibility study and submit their views by email (myviews_cpp@afcd.gov.hk).
