Ecology (Coral Monitoring)

 

6.1.             Under the approval conditions of the EIA Report for the Project, an EM&A programme on coral for the operation phase of the Project is recommended. Pursuant to these EIA approval conditions and Condition 3.1 of the EP and FEP, details of the regular coral monitoring programme have been proposed based on the baseline coral monitoring results in the Report on operation Baseline Coral Monitoring and Regular Coral Monitoring Methodology.

Monitoring Location

6.2.             In accordance with Appendix B Section 5.1 of the approved supplementary EM&A Manual, two indirect impact sites (C2 and C3) and one control site (C8) as shown in Figure 6.1 should be monitored during the operation Phase. Operation coral survey should be conducted at the indirect impact and control sites. Ten selected hard coral colonies with similar species should be tagged at each of the control and indirect impact sites before commencement of the operation phase. Tagged hard coral colonies should be monitored in open waters during the operation phase.

Ecology (Fishery Monitoring)

 

7.1.             The purpose of the operation phase regular fisheries monitoring programme is to monitor the potential impacts on fisheries resources in the vicinity of the project site. Apart from the regular fisheries monitoring programme, a water quality monitoring programme in addition to the water quality monitoring programme in the approved EM&A Manual is also described in Section 2.4 to (i) provide supplementary information in the interpretation of the findings of the fisheries monitoring and (ii) assist the monitoring of the potential impact on the Tung Lung Chau Fish Culture Zone (FCZ) in Joss House Bay.

Monitoring Location

7.2.             In accordance with Section 2.3 of the approved Methodology Paper on Regular Fisheries Monitoring, it is recommended to set up six (6) fisheries monitoring locations in Joss House Bay and its vicinity to monitor the fisheries resources.

7.3.             Two (2) sampling locations are set up in close proximity of the direct footprint of the proposed submarine utilities around TKO Area 137. These sampling locations represent the potential Project impact zones (i.e. areas at and in close proximity to the footprint of the proposed submarine utilities that will be directly affected by the Project works).

7.4.             Two (2) gradient locations are proposed between the proposed submarine utilities and Tung Lung Chau FCZ to assist in the interpretation and identification of any potential fisheries impact in the vicinity of the FCZ.

7.5.             Two (2) reference locations are proposed in the outer Joss House Bay between the waters of Tung Lung Chau and Fat Tong Mun. These reference locations are further away and will not be affected by the Project discharge (based on the EIA prediction) and will serve as control stations. Any significant fisheries impact identified at the reference locations should be caused by other natural factors or non-Project activities. The trends of fisheries conditions recorded in the reference locations will be used to assist in the interpretation of the trends of fisheries impact identified in the impact and gradient locations.

7.6.             The coordinates of the proposed monitoring locations are shown in Figure 7.1.

Monitoring Frequency

7.7.             Operation phase fishery monitoring shall be carried out 2 times in wet season (April to October) and 2 times in dry season (December to March) to examine the following:

·             Fish species composition;

·             Abundance: number of fish captured;

·             Diversity of fish resources: species diversity and evenness;

·             Size: range of total length; Biomass in weight; and

·             Values of catches of commercial species: catch per unit effort (CPUE) and yield per unit effort (YPUE).

Monitoring Result and Observation

7.8.    Operation phase fishery monitoring for dry season 2026 was carried out on 7 and 15 February 2026. The survey findings showed that the abundance and diversity of fish eggs and larvae are on the low side for the Study Area, and the abundance and diversity

The manholes and utility pits within the Project Site and along the fresh water mains. Each manhole/ utility pit should be monitored with two measurements (at mid depth and base). Each measurement should be monitored for a minimum of 10 minutes. A steady reading and peak reading should be recorded at each manhole/ utility pit and for each measurement.  The need for

venting the manhole/ utility pit and further monitoring will be reviewed after the initial monitoring.

Coral Survey Report


1                  INTRODUCTION

1.1           Background

1.1.1       The Project, Design, Build and Operate First Stage of Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant (TKODP), is a Designated Project under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap. 499) (EIAO) and is currently governed by a Further Environmental Permit (EP No. FEP – 01/503/2015/B) for the construction and operation of the Project.

1.1.2       The Jardine Engineering Corporation, Limited, China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) Limited and Acciona Agua, S.A. Trading As AJC Joint Venture (AJCJV) is contracted to carry out the Design, Build and Operate First Stage of Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant (TKODP) under Contract No. 13/WSD/17 (the Project).

1.1.3       Acuity Sustainability Consulting Limited (ASCL) is commissioned by AJCJV to undertake the Environmental Team (ET) services as required and/or implied, both explicitly and implicitly, in the Environmental Permit (EP), Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIA Report) (Register No. AEIAR-192/2015) and Environmental Monitoring and Audit Manual (EM&A Manual) for the Project; and to carry out the Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) programme in fulfillment of the EIA Report’s EM&A requirements and Contract No. 13/WSD/17 Specification requirements.

1.1.4       The proposed Desalination Plant at Tseung Kwan O (TKODP) will produce potable water with an initial capacity of 135 million litres per day (MLD), expandable to an ultimate capacity of 270 MLD in the future to provide a secure and alternative fresh water resource complying with the World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The plant will adopt the Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) technology, which dominates the market due to its reliability and progressive reduction in cost as the technology advances.

1.1.5       A baseline coral survey was conducted in October 2023 to verify the validity of the pervious EIA findings as well as to provide updated coral data for impact monitoring during the construction and operation phases. Two indirect impact sites and one control site were identified during the baseline coral survey for impact monitoring.

2           Methodology

2.1          All tagged coral colonies in C2, C3 and C8 will be monitored monthly during the first year of Project operation. The monitoring team will record the following parameters (using the same methodology adopted during the pre-construction phase survey): size, presence, survival, health conditions (percentage of mortality) and percentage of sediment of each tagged coral colonies. The general environmental conditions during the survey date will also be monitored.

2.2          Photographic records of the tagged coral colonies will be taken as far as possible maintaining the same aspect and orientation as photographs taken for the pre-translocation surveys. All the tags for marking coral colonies will be removed / retrieved once the monitoring programme is completed.

2.3          The results of the operation phase monitoring surveys should be reviewed with reference to findings of the baseline survey.

2.4          If, during the operation phase monitoring, observations of any die-off / abnormal conditions of the tagged corals are made, the ET will inform the Contractor, Independent Environmental Checker (IEC)/ Environmental Project Office (ENPO), Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) and in liaison with AFCD investigate any measures needed.

2.5      Monitoring result will be reviewed and be compared against the Action Level and Limit Level (AL/LL) as set out in Table 2-1. Actions specified on Table 2-2 will be taken by ET, IEC, SOR and Contractor shall there be exceedance of AL/LL

1                      Introduction

1.1                Background

          Water Supplies Department (WSD) appointed Black & Veatch Hong Kong Limited (B&V) to undertake the consultancy “Agreement No. CE 8/2015 (WS) First Stage of Desalination Plantat Tseung Kwan O – Investigation, Design, and Construction” on 16 November 2015.

          The purpose of the Project is to construct a sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant at Tseung Kwan O (TKO) Area 137, together with all ancillary facilities and the slope mitigation works in the adjoining Clear Water Bay Country Park.

          The first stage of the proposed SWRO desalination plant will have a water production capacity of 135,000 cubic meters (m3) per day with provision for future expansion to the ultimate capacity up to 270,000 m3 per day when necessary.

         The Project is classified as a Designated Project (DP) under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO). An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was completed in accordance with the EIAO under the Feasibility Study (FS) stage of the Project. The EIA Report for the Project (Register No.: AEIAR-192/2015) was approved with conditions on 4 November 2015 under the EIAO. Following the approval of the EIA Report, the Environmental Permit (EP) (No: EP- 503/2015), covering the construction and operation of Project, was granted on4 December 2015. The EP for this Project was subsequently amended and the amended EP (No. EP-503/2015/A) was granted on 26 January 2018 under the EIAO. Baseline fisheries monitoring was conduction in September 2018 to February 2019

1.2                Purpose of this Report

          An Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) programme of regular fisheries monitoring is recommended under the approval conditions of the EIA Report for the Project. The purpose of the EM&A programme is to monitor the fisheries impact of the Project. Pursuant to these EIA approval conditions, details of the regular fisheries monitoring programme shall be submitted to the Director of Environmental Protection (DEP) for prior approval.

          The regular fisheries monitoring programme including the methodologies for carrying out adult fish survey, juvenile fish survey, ichthyoplankton survey and supplementary water quality monitoring during the pre-construction (or baseline period), construction and operational stages of the Project are presented in the “Final Methodology Paper on Regular Fisheries Monitoring” issued by B&V on 31 August 2018. The dry season of the operational works were subsequently carried out on 7th and 15th February 2026. This Report is prepared to present the progress of the operationsal phase fisheries monitoring.


2                      Summary of EIA Findings and Updated Fisheries Survey

         This Project comprises submarine utilities including a seawater intake and a submarine outfall in Joss House Bay. The approved EIA Report predicted that the potential impacts on fisheriesresources would be confined within close proximity of these submarine utilities. No important fish spawning and nursery grounds were identified near the proposed submarine utilities with reference to the findings of literature review undertaken during the EIA stage. The EIA Report concluded that no significant fisheries impact would arise from construction and operation of the proposed submarine utilities.

         In accordance with Condition 2.9 of the EP, an Updated Fisheries Survey was carried out in 2015 to 2016 to verify if any significant fish spawning and nursery grounds in the vicinity ofthe proposed submarine utilities. The Updated Fisheries Survey revealed no important fish spawning and nursery grounds near the proposed submarine utilities and affirmed the conclusion made in the approved EIA Report. The results of the Updated Fisheries Survey arepresented in the “Consultancy Services for Updated Fisheries Survey for Tseung Kwan ODesalination Plant Final Report” issued by ERM on 6 June 2017.


3                      Monitoring Methodology

3.1                Monitoring Parameters and Programme

         The purpose of this baseline fisheries monitoring programme is to update the information onfisheries resources in Joss House Bay and nearby water during the project operation. Under the monitoring programme, survey on adult fish, juvenile fish and ichtyoplankton were carried out 2 times in wet season and 2 times in dry season to examine the following:

   Fish species composition;

   Abundance: number of fish captured;

   Diversity of fish resources: species diversity and evenness;

   Size: range of total length;

   Biomass in weight; and

   Values of catches of commercial species: catch per unit effort (CPUE) and yield per unit effort (YPUE).

A summary of the fisheries monitoring programme is provided in table below.

3.2                Fisheries Resource Sampling Locations

         Six (6) fisheries sampling locations were set up in Joss House Bay and its vicinity to monitor the fisheries resources.

         Two (2) sampling locations were set up in the Impact Area (IPA) in close proximity of the direct footprint of the proposed submarine utilities around TKO Area 137.

         Two (2) sampling locations were set up in the Gradient Area (GDA) between the proposed submarine utilities and Tung Lung Chau Fish Culture Zone (FCZ).

         Two (2) reference locations were set up in the Control Area (CLA) in outer Joss House Bay between the waters of Tung Lung Chau and Fat Tong Mun. These reference locations are further away from the Project discharge (based on the EIA prediction) and will serve as control stations.

          The fisheries resource sampling locations are summarized in Table 3-2 and shownin Figure 3.1.

3.3               Adult Fish Survey Methodology

         Two fishing methods, gill netting and cage trapping, were used to sample pelagic and demersal adult fish resources at each sampling location. These methods are also commonly used by local fishermen in Hong Kong waters.

Pelagic Fish Survey – Gill Netting

        Under each sampling event, a pair of trammel (gill) nets was deployed for one (1) hour at each sampling location. The nets were 1 m deep, 30 m in length and comprised of three (3) layers,with two 20 cm mesh stretches sandwiching a 5 cm mesh stretch. All fish species captured were recorded and identified to species level as far as practicable. Each gill netting survey was analysed for species composition, abundance, size (total length), biomass in weight and diversity of adult fish.

Demersal Fish Survey – Cage Trapping

         Two sets of four metal wire cage traps, each ranged from 0.8 to 0.9 m3 in volume and mesh size of 25 mm, were deployed for one (1) hour at each sampling location. Distance between the traps was about 10 m, and the distance between each set of traps was about 100 m. Breador other suitable fish bait was used as bait for cage trapping. All species caught in the cage trapping survey were identified to species level as far as practical. Each cage trapping surveywas analysed for species composition, abundance, size (total length), biomass in weight and diversity of adult fish.

3.4               Juvenile Fish Survey Methodology

         A typical purse-seine fishing method was used to sample juvenile fish at each sampling location. The nets adopted in the survey ranged from 5 to 15 m deep (depending on the waterdepth) and were 50 m in length, and with 6 mm mesh size (maximum stretched). For each sampling event, both a mother boat and a P4 sampan were deploy the seine net for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, with each boat holding one end of the net. The nets were pulled towards the fish resources in the form of a semi-circle. Fish catches were concentratedand lifted onto the mother boat. All fishes captured were recorded and identified to species level as far as practicable.

3.5               Ichthyoplankton Survey Methodology

         To investigate spatial and seasonal or temporal variation of fish egg and fish larvae composition, ichthyoplankton survey was conducted at each sampling transect using plankton towing to collect representative samples.

         A bongo plankton net, of 50 cm mouth diameter and with 0.5 mm mesh size, was deployed tocollect ichthyoplankton. A flow meter was fitted at mouth of the net to record the volume ofwater filtered.

         At each site, three (3) replicate tows were conducted, and each tow with a duration of 15 minutes. The net was deployed in a single oblique tow to a depth of 2m off the seabed and towed at a speed of 1-2 knots. Consequently, the net was gradually winched up towards thewater surface in order to sample the entire water column.

         The plankton was immediately fixed in 70% ethanol. The ichthyoplankton was sorted, number counted and size range measured in the laboratory. All fish egg and fish larvae captured wererecorded and identified to the lowest taxonomic level, where possible. Larval fish individual without distinctive morphological features for taxonomic identification were examined with


the aid of DNA sequencing if deemed necessary. Species composition, abundance and diversity of species were measured to describe and compare temporal and spatial changes.

3.6               Data Analysis

         Data collected under each fisheries monitoring event were analyzed to assess the spatial and temporal variations of species abundance and total biomass (for adult and juvenile fish)/ density (for ichthyoplankton). Temporal (wet vs. dry) and spatial (e.g. Impact Area vs. Control Area) differences in fish abundance were compared using descriptive statistics and/ or inferential statistics (Microsoft Excel and/or Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)), followed by multiple comparison procedures, as appropriate. Diversity of fish resources was presented as species richness, Shannon-Weiner diversity (H’) and Pielou’s evenness (J’). Patterns of fish species composition are presented and subject to statistical analyses as above. Values of catches of commercial species for adult and juvenile fishes are presented in terms CPUE (number of individuals per fishing time and number of nets or cages) and YPUE (weightof fish per survey time and number of nets or cages).


4                     Supplementary Water Quality Monitoring Methodology

4.1               Monitoring Parameters and Programme

         Supplementary water quality monitoring (in addition to those specified in the EM&AManual) was carried out at the same frequency and locations of the fisheries monitoring programme. The water quality monitoring parameters include the following:

In-situ measurements:

   Water Depth (m)

   Temperature (°C)

   pH

   Dissolved Oxygen (DO) (mg/L)

   Turbidity (NTU)

   Salinity (ppt) Laboratory Analysis:

   Suspended Solid (SS) (mg/L)

   Iron (Fe) (mg/L)

   Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) (mg/L)

         Four water quality monitoring events covering dry and wet seasons were carried out. Undereach event, in-situ measurements and water sampling were taken at both mid-flood and mid-ebb tides. A summary of the water quality monitoring programme is provided in Table 4-1 below.

Sampling Procedures

         Water depth was measured at each monitoring location and the levels of the three monitoring depths were then determined. At each monitoring depth, two replicate measurements of temperature, pH, DO, turbidity and salinity were taken in-situ and two replicate water samples were collected for laboratory analysis of SS, Fe and TRC. Following collection, water samplesfor laboratory analysis were stored in high density polythene bottles with no preservatives added, packed in ice (cooled to 4°C without being frozen) and kept in dark during both on- temporary storage and delivery to the testing laboratory.

Laboratory Analytical Methods

         The testing of SS, Fe and TRC were conducted by ETS-Testconsult LTD. (HOKLAS Registration No. 022). Quality assurance and control procedures were implemented to ensure quality and consistency in results. The testing methods and corresponding reporting limits are providedin Table 4-4.

6.2               Commercial Value of Adult Fish Resources

         According the method used in “EIA Report for Expansion of Hong Kong Airport into a Three-Runway System (AAHK 2012)” and “Provision of Consultancy Services for Updated Fisheries Survey for Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant Final Report (ERM 2017)”, commercial value of adult fish resources was estimated based on Fish Marketing Organisation’s (FMO) wholesaleprice in 2018 and subsequently ranked into three classes including: High (> 70 HK$/ kg); Medium (60 - 70 HK$/ kg); and Low (< 60 HK$/ kg) (1). Top ten species of commercial importance are


summarized in Table 6-3.

         Among the 9 fish species recorded, 7 species are classified as commercial species, which accounted for about 91.1% of the total biomass and 90.1% of the total abundance from thecaptured adult fish species. Most of these commercial species are of medium to low commercial value (95% of total abundance). However, high commercial value fishes showed only 3.1% in terms of total biomass. The dominant species in terms of abundance were Pearl-spot chromis (Chromis notata) which accounting for 71.1% of total abundance. In terms of abundance, most of the adult fish resources in the Study Area are of low to no commercial value, accounting for > 80% of total abundance of overall adult fish resources. However, in term of biomass, most of the adult fish resources in the Study Area are also of low to no commercial value, accounting for > 75% of total biomass of overall adult fish resources.

(1) Three classes of wholesale prices were defined under ERM 2017 to indicate the commercial value of the fish resources. With reference to the Fish Marketing Organization Annual Report 2016 / 2017 (https://www.fmo.org.hk/download?path=15_58&id=15), there has been an increasing trend of wholesale prices over the years. As such, the ranges of wholesale prices established under ERM 2017 have been adjusted under this Studyto reflect the increases in the market prices over the years.

 

6.3               Catch per Unit Effort

        The following equation is adopted to calculate Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE):

 


CPUE =                No.of individual of fish

Fishing time (hour) x (Number of net and cage)


, where


 

 

Fishing time = 1 hour; Number of net = 2; Number of cage = 8.

        The CPUE was variable with locations, mean CPUE of each monitoring location rangedbetween

Fish Egg Composition

8.2.1    The most abundant fish egg species recorded in the Study Area are listed in Table 8-2, with percentages of total density listed in descending order. The species composition at all locations were generally variable.

8.2.2      In dry season, the species composition of fish egg was more variable with locations/ areas. IPA (Site T1) was dominated by Evynnis cardinalis. CLA (Site T3 and T4) was dominated by Evynnis cardinalis. While no fish egg was recorded in site T2 and T6.

 

Fish Larvae Composition

8.2.3      The most abundant fish larvae species recorded in the Study Area are listed in Table 8-3, with percentages of total density listed in descending order. The species composition at all locations were generally variable.

8.2.4      In dry season, at all locations, the percentage of total density of fish larvae was dominated bycommon rockfish Sebastiscus marmoratus, which was of high commercial value, contributingto 44.64 % total fish larvae density at the survey area (Table 8-4).

9                          Supplementary Water Quality Monitoring Results

9.1      The statistical summary of the water quality monitoring parameters during dry are tabulated in

Table 11.1. The detailed in-situ and laboratory measurement result are shown in Appendix E.

9.2      The measured water temperature values ranged from about 20.83 °C to about 22.61 °C in dry season. No absolute Water Quality Objective (WQO) on marine water temperature is available. Seasonal variation of water temperatures was recorded from the monitoring as expected.

9.3     The sea is a large pH buffering system with high capacity to resist changes in pH. The pH of seawater is normally very stable. Localized changes of pH in seawater may occur due to industrial discharge or episodic event such as algal bloom. All the pH values are within the normal natural range in seawater and complied with the relevant WQO of 7.99 to 9.50 in both dry. No seasonal trend of pH is observed.

9.4     Dissolved oxygen (DO) is essential to fish and an important health indicator of the marine ecosystem. Higher water temperature would tend to decrease the solubility of DO in seawater. The measured DO levels are generally lower in wet season as compared to the values measured in dry season but all the measured DO values are considered high. The depth-averaged DO and bottom DO values measured during the dry season are all over 7 mg/L. Thus, the DO levels are good in both dry.

9.5     Unlike the north western water of Hong Kong, which is subject to strong seasonal influence from the freshwater discharges from Pearl River Delta with high suspended solids (SS) content, the monitoring stations of this Study are located in the eastern water of Hong Kong with muchmore stable salinity and lower SS contents. No absolute SS and turbidity objectives in marinewater are available. The average SS and turbidity levels are below 5 mg/L and 7 NTU with highest measured values of about 10 mg/L and 2.68 NTU respectively. No obvious seasonal variation of SS and turbidity levels can be identified.

9.6     The average salinity levels measured during the dry season are higher than 32 ppt,which indicated that the water is purely oceanic water with no significant freshwater dilution during the monitoring periods. No seasonal variation of salinity levels can be identified fromthe monitoring results.

9.7     All the measured iron (Fe) and total residual chlorine (TRC) values were non-detected. No indication of industrial or trade effluent discharge is identified in the Study Area.

10                              Conclusions

10.1       Operation fisheries monitoring works for the Project including adult fish, juvenile fish, ichthyoplankton and supplementary water quality surveys were completed in February 2026.

10.2       For adult fish survey using cage trapping and gill netting, a total 7102 g of 166 individuals comprising 9 fish species from 9 families was recorded. The dominant species in terms of biomass and abundance were Pearl-spot chromis (Chromis notata), and this species are of low commercial value. Within the Study Area, majority of commercial species recorded are of low commercial value with some species of medium to high commercial values also recorded. The overall commercial value of adult fish resources in the Study Area is low to moderate.

10.3       For juvenile fish survey, a total of 975.2g of 610 individuals comprising 1 species from 1 families was recorded. The dominant species in terms of biomass and abundance was Mugil sp., which is of low commercial value. The juvenile fish resources in the Study Area is considered to be of very low diversity and production level.

10.4       In the ichthyoplankton survey, a total of 7 species from 7 families (including both fish eggand fish larvae) were recorded in the Study Area, comprising 3 fish egg species from 3 families, and 4 fish larvae species from 4 families. The mean larvae density and total larvaefamily under the current Study are on the low side compared with the results reported in other areas of Hong Kong. The dominant species of fish egg and fish larvae were Evynnis cardinalis and Marbled rockfish Sebastiscus marmoratus, respectively. These dominant species are considered of medium to high commercial value.

10.5       The supplementary water quality monitoring showed that the dissolved oxygen (key water quality parameter for fish) and pH in the Study Area fully complied with the relevant water quality objectives. The suspended solids and turbidity in the Study Area were in generally low. Iron and total residual chlorine were not detected in the Study Area with no indication of industrial or trade effluent discharge. Overall, the water quality was good in terms of the monitoring parameters.

10.6       Overall, the survey findings showed that the abundance and diversity of fish eggs and larvaeare on the low side for the Study Area, and the abundance and diversity of juveniles are verylow for the Study Area. Survey findings also showed that there was a very week relationshipin recorded families between ichthyoplankton assemblages, adult fish and juvenile fish in theStudy Area, which implies that the Study Area does not appear to be an important spawning or nursery grounds for commercial fishes.
