This project sounds like a complete white elephant. Definitely agree that this is a waste of taxpayers money, the cost/benefit looks very questionable. The water quality here is very poor and I certainly won't be running over to jump in. Appears this project is supported by local politicians and village heads both for political grounds and to improve business and property values.
From recent reports the Environmental Impact Analysis done was highly questionable and the development is close to sensitive ecologically important areas, that will be impacted. Also I don't agree that just because this particular bay looks 'ruined' that is it not still worth restoring and protecting. Recent surveys by HK Wildlife, found >100 species by simply wading in the shallows.
I don't think that this should go through. Objections can still be raised. Have a look at the following.

Hi Martin
http://www.livingseas.hk is up and running. It is still not quite right, more content needed…that will come.
Check out the Forum section, where we hope people will get involved in Marine Conservation issues in Hong Kong

Giant wood spider (Nephila maculata) as far as I can make out. I think it is common, I saw > 10 individuals on a short walk from PoLin to Tai O.
Hi Martin
Love the cartoon, how appropriate and true…
We have being playing around with using a Facebook group for Living Seas Hong Kong, but current conclusion is that we are imminently going to launch a website and will have a great forum feature there, hence we will not use Facebook at this time. Sorry for any confusion. For the moment I have removed the Living Seas Hong Kong group on Facebook.
We look forward to getting everyones involvement later. I will send the URL via this HKOUTDOOR.com forum when we are ready to launch… Watch this space.
All the best
Dod
