Closure of coral beach in Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park

The Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department announced in a notice dated 27th April the closure of the 'Coral Beach' in Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park. This is with the objective of :

"prohibiting the entry of all persons and vessels into the Area are for the protection of corals by reducing human activities and impact in the Area"

Seems a step in the right direction, however it is still possible to fish in other parts of the park with the correct permit.

Still some way to go..
