Red tide alert 紅潮報告

30/6/2020

Many residents reported brown streaks in the waters of East Lamma Channel. The Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department confirmed today that water sample analysis shows red tide is formed by non-toxic algal species Chaetoceros pseudocurvisetus, Guinardia delicatula and Pseudo-nitzschia pungens. The red tide is extensively observed from Lei Yue Mun to Lantau Island, and AFCD expects it may persist for some time during the summer. Flotsam including Styrofoam boxes are seen mixed with the sticky red tide. The Marine Department will respond to requests for clean ups of the flotsam. So do send us your pictures with clear indication of date and time. 

過往幾日,我們收到居民報告薄扶林對開的東博寮海峽水域出現啡色的污染物。經測試水辦後,漁農自然護理署今日証實污染物屬紅潮,由擬彎角毛藻、柔弱幾內亞藻及尖刺擬菱形藻的無毒素藻類組成。署方表示今次出現紅潮的水域甚廣,由鯉魚門至大嶼山一帶的水域也受影響,他們預計紅潮現象未必會於短時間內消失。另外,海事處亦有加強清理海上垃圾的工作。歡迎大家將海上垃圾的相片電郵給我們以作跟進。
