Bubble Curtain - one of the currently used mitigation measures. It can minimize the impacts caused by underwater blasting and percussive piling to the dolphins

Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) (Cap.499) can also protect the dolphin from the impact of development.

So as to improve the seawater quality, the government is building some new disposal systems, and upgrading the existing sewage treatment facilities.

Artificial reefs were deployed in marine parks and other sites in order to rebuild the local fish stock and therefore enhance the availability of the dolphinsO preys. We are also formulating a fisheries resources conservation and management plan to rectify the over-exploitation situation and to promote the sustainable development of the fishing industry.
