Red tide sighting
Friday, July 16, 2004

A red tide has been sighted in Hong Kong waters in the past few days, an inter-departmental red tide working group reported today (July 16).

Staff of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conversation Department (AFCD) observed a red tide at East and West Lamma Channels on July 12. The red tide dissipated the following day.

Red tide is a natural phenomenon. The AFCD's proactive phytoplankton monitoring programme will continue monitoring red tide occurrences to minimise the impact on the mariculture industry.
