Fisheries Conclusion
The potential for impact on fisheries greatly reduced from the outset by conducting a site selection
process taking into account potential impacts and avoiding known high productivity areas known.
The Project will lead to the permanent loss of approximately 16 km2 of relatively low productivity /
value fishing ground within Hong Kong waters. There is unrestricted fisheries habitat of the same
character and value in waters contiguous with the proposed wind farm throughout the Study Area.
No significant water quality-induced impacts are predicted on the popular fishing area around the
Ninepin Islands or any of the fish culture zones in the Study Area during Project construction.
The operational Project will lead to a loss in fishing ground, although the potential for a significant
net positive impact may be achieved with establishment of artificial reef communities on marine
foundations which may benefit the overall abundance and diversity of fisheries
resources, and will complement sustainable fisheries management in the HKSAR.
