Deep Bay Wetland outside Ramsar Site

Deep Bay receives water and sediments from both Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The sediment forming the core part of the intertidal mudflat is predominantly clay and silt.

Hong Kong has a sub-tropical climate and it is strongly influenced by monsoons. Most of the rainfall occurs mainly from April to September. Salinity of the intertidal water varies depending on the seasonality. During the wet season (late spring to summer), the salinity drops and sometimes it’s almost freshwater due to the increase in rainfall. The values tend to increase from late summer and approach highest in winter/early spring during the dry season. The site helps to alleviate floods in the northwest of the territory and the mangroves are of value in stabilising the shore of the Deep Bay.
