Protected wetlands in Northern Metropolis damaged by ‘industrial-scale’ shrimp farms, Greenpeace says

Greenpeace has revealed that over 13 hectares of protected wetlands in Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis are under threat from "industrial-scale" shrimp farming, turning traditional fish ponds into large shrimp farms. This environmental damage is a significant concern as these wetlands are crucial habitats for various species and play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. The encroachment on protected areas raises questions about the balance between urban development and environmental conservation, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable practices in land use planning.
