About
Sharp Island is a location in Sai Kung, Hong Kong, that has recently gained attention due to efforts by conservation authorities to protect its coral reefs. The island's shoreline will be cordoned off during the Labour Day 'golden week' holiday to prevent damage from visitors. This move aims to preserve the delicate ecosystem of the corals and ensure their survival for future generations. Additionally, Hong Kong's East Dam has welcomed a large number of visitors despite adverse weather conditions, highlighting concerns about littering and illegal camping in protected areas. These developments underscore the importance of conservation efforts in Hong Kong's natural environments.
