Continued opposition to Tai Po beach project

There is continued opposition to the proposed artificial beach project at Lung Mei in Tai Po.  Living Seas has reported on this previously. The major objections are:

 

  1. Waste of tax payers money, the waters in this area are highly polluted and subject to red-tides.
  2. Development of the beach will adversely affect valuable mangrove areas and a valuable ecosystem.
  3. Species richness in the areas has been shown to be 6 times higher than the official EIA (environmental impact assessment) completed.  This puts into question the accuracy and recommendations of the EIA.
