Mai Po Marshes'''Mai Po Marshes''' is a nature reserve located near Yuen Long in Hong Kong. It is part of Deep Bay, an internationally wetland that's really a shallow estuary, at the mouths of Sham Chun River, Shan Pui River (Yuen Long Creek) and Tin Shui Wai Nullah. Inner Deep Bay is listed as a Ramsar site, and supports globally important numbers of wetland birds, which mainly arrive in winter and during spring and autumn migrations. The reserve is managed by the World Wide Fund for Nature Hong Kong; the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department has responsibilities for the Ramsar site as a whole. Deep Bay faces threats, including pollution, and rising mudflat levels that perhaps arise from intense urbanisation, especially (in recent years) on the north, Shenzhen side of the bay. ==See also== * Hong Kong Wetland Park * Ecology of Hong Kong * List of buildings, sites and areas in Hong Kong ==External links== * http://www.wwf.org.hk/eng/maipo/index.html * [http://www.hkoutdoors.com/Activities_in_Hong_Kong_Outdoors/Hong_Kong_birding/Birding_at_Mai_Po_Marshes,_Hong_Kong/41/ Birding at Mai Po Marshes] * [http://www.hkoutdoors.com/News_&_Views/Hong_Kong_Outdoors/Deep_Bay_wetland,_Hong_Kong,_under_threat/125/ Deep Bay wetland under threat] Category:Hong Kong Category:Wetlands Category:Conservation in Hong Kong category:Nature reserves {{Hong Kong-geo-stub}}  zh:米埔 First page | Prev | Next | Last page |
