	EPD - Environmental Baseline Report
		The beach at Sham Wan, Lamma Island is the only documented site in Hong Kong where the Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) attempts to nest (Morton 1992; Hong Kong Marine Conservation Society 1997), and it is therefore a marine habitat of special concern.
		Populations of the two identified species of Horseshoe Crabs (Tachypleus tridentatus and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda) in Hong Kong are known to have drastically declined in recent years and have been recommended for conservation (Huang et al 1998; Chiu and Morton 1999).
		Marine areas northwest of Lantau Island, extending from between Yi O and Tung Chung Bay to a depth of 5 m and offshore areas surrounding the identified nursery beaches at Pak Nai and Shui Hau are considered critical habitat for these species.
