Pilot programme for rehabilitation of idle fishponds

The project organisation redesigned two inactive fish ponds and invited fishpond operators to jointly manage them, including controlling invasive species, adjusting water levels, installing decoy bird models to attract waterfowls, and vegetation control, etc., to provide better conditions for winter migratory birds and for their breeding. The project organisation also conducted research and surveys to understand the effectiveness of management measures. The experience of the project organisation in the pilot programme for the rehabilitation of idle fish ponds is of reference value for how to manage other inactive fish ponds in Deep Bay.
