Marine Ecology Sample Clauses

Marine Ecology. 3.8.1 Literature reviews of existing information supplemented with the results of recently undertaken field surveys on marine ecological resources indicate that identified marine habitats within the study area are of low ecological value. There are no ecological sensitive receivers, such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and Marine Parks and / or Reserves or other areas of ecological importance or conservation interest, in and within the immediate vicinity of the study area.

Marine Ecology. A desktop literature review was conducted to establish the baseline conditions and the general ecological profile. Information from the water quality assessment was also used to identify the effects of change in water quality on the marine ecology. Habitats including those in the intertidal zone (artificial seawalls and rocky shores), sub-tidal zone (soft-bottom and hard-bottom habitats), and the open sea (Victoria Harbour) within the assessment area together with the marine ecology around Green Island were described. The marine ecological resources within the dredging area consist of pollution tolerant soft benthos in low diversity and typical to benthos recorded in poor quality sediments. Inter- tidal species along Victoria shorelines are common fouling organisms recorded at artificial seawall. Both the species diversity and abundance recorded are lower than those recorded in semi-exposed shore in Hong Kong. The marine ecology in Green Island is of moderate ecological value, with soft coral assemblages and larger size inter-tidal species recorded. Direct impacts of permanent habitat loss and temporary disturbances to marine ecological resources from dredging and backfilling activities at the seabed and installation of pipeline by “bottom pull” method during construction phase will be of low to negligible significance, due to no rare species recorded within the affected area and in vicinity and the low ecological value of the marine benthos and the re-creatable artificial structures along the Victoria Harbour. Indirect impacts through the changes to water flow regime, and perturbations of the surrounding water quality on the medium ecological value habitats at Green Island are anticipated to be negligible as the results of water quality modelling showed that the elevation of SS concentration and sedimentation rate around the Green Island waters is predicted to be less than 0.1mgL-1 and 0.001kgm-2 per day respectively, which are much lower than the tolerant levels for coral communities. In addition, due to the remoteness from the works area, the impacts to the marine environment in vicinity to Green Island are anticipated to be negligible. The proposed dredging works will be confined in the works area within 25m at either side of the proposed alignment and the use of closed type grab dredger will reduce sediment and contaminants runoff to the water column. The trench will be backfilled with armour rock or decomposed granite and allow natural sedimentation ...

Marine Ecology. 3.6.1 Literature review of existing marine ecological conditions was supplemented by field surveys of marine ecological resources in the Assessment Area. Surveys were conducted over a 6 month period from May to October 2004. Marine habitats affected by WCR reclamation and construction of CBL were generally of low ecological value. Rocky and xxxxx xxxxx habitats were considered to be of low-medium ecological value. Artificial seawall was rated as being of very low ecological value. Soft substrata subtidal habitat at Junk Bay was considered to be of low ecological value. Owing to the sparse cover of common hard corals and patchy cover of soft and gorgonian corals, the Xxxx Xxxx Wan coast at the proposed reclamation area was considered to be of low ecological value.
