Here is an item of interest to swimmers.
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department announced today (June 18) that Butterfly Beach in Tuen Mun District is reopened. The beach was temporarily closed earlier because of an oil spill.
However, according to the Beach Water Quality Forecast System of the Environmental Protection Department (www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/environmentinhk/water/beach_quality/forecast_system.html), the Beach Water Quality Forecast Index for Butterfly Beach is 4, which means the predicted water quality at this beach is "Very Poor" due to potential transient water quality fluctuations caused by heavy rain. The red flag has been hoisted, and beachgoers are advised not to enter the water to safeguard their health.
