Introduction
1.1
Background
According to
the findings of the Northwest New Territories (NWNT) Traffic and Infrastructure
Review conducted by the Transport Department, Tuen Mun Road, Ting Kau Bridge,
Lantau Link and North Lantau Highway would be operating beyond capacity after
2016. This forecast has been based
on the estimated increase in cross boundary traffic, developments in the
Northwest New Territories (NWNT), and possible developments in North Lantau,
including the Airport developments, the Lantau Logistics Park (LLP) and the
Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macao Bridge (HZMB).
In order to cope with the anticipated traffic demand, two new road
sections between NWNT and North Lantau – Tuen Mun – Chek Lap Kok Link (TM-CLKL)
and Tuen Mun Western Bypass (TMWB) are proposed.
An
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of TM-CLKL was prepared in accordance
with the EIA Study Brief (No. ESB-175/2007) and the Technical Memorandum of the Environmental
Impact Assessment Process (EIAO-TM). The EIA Report was submitted under the Environmental
Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) in August 2009. Subsequent to the approval of the EIA
Report (EIAO Register Number AEIAR-145/2009), an Environmental Permit
(EP-354/2009) for TM-CLKL was granted by the Director of Environmental
Protection (DEP) on 4 November 2009, and EP variation (EP-354/2009A) was issued
on 8 December 2010. Another
application for variation of environmental permit (VEP) (EP-354/2009/B) was granted on 28 January 2014.
Pursuant to Condition 2.6 of the EP, the Detailed Coral Translocation Methodology
has been submitted and approved by the authorities for this Contract. In accordance with the Updated EM&A Manual, coral translocation should be undertaken for the
coral colonies at Pillar Point prior to construction of the northern landfall
in order to reduce the potential marine ecological impacts.
1.2
Objectives of the Coral
Translocation
According to
the approved EIA Report of the TM-CLKL, the proposed reclamation work at the
northern landfall area in Pillar Point would lead to direct
loss of corals of low to moderate ecological value. Coral translocation was therefore
recommended to be undertaken for the coral colonies at Pillar Point prior to
construction in order to reduce the potential marine ecological impacts of the
northern landfall construction works.
1.3
Purpose
of this Report
The purpose of this Detailed
Coral Translocation Report is to report findings of the coral translocation
exercise under which movable coral colonies that may be affected by the
construction works of the northern landfall are translocated
from the donor site at Pillar Point to the receptor site at Yam Tsai Wan (Figure 1.1). Findings of
the pre-translocation survey undertaken at both the donor and receptor sites
are also presented in this report.

2.1
Introduction
The pre-translocation survey at receptor site, Yam Tsai Wan, was carried
out on 19 October 2013. The
pre-translocation survey at the donar site at Pillar Point and coral
translocation were undertaken from 21 to 23 October. Audit survey at the donar site was
carried out on 23 October 2013 after completion of the coral
translocation. The weather
conditions during the period concerned above were summarized in Table 2.1.

Methodology
2.2.1
Pre-translocation Survey at
Receptor Site
Pre-translocation survey was conducted at the proposed
receptor site, Yam Tsai Wan (Figure 2.1),
to ensure its suitability before the translocation of corals commenced at the
donor site of Pillar Point. A
spot-check dive was conducted at the proposed receptor site and its vicinity to
check for the presence of healthy coral colonies including the hard coral Balanophyllia sp. and Oulastrea crispata and
gorgonian Guaiagorgia sp. which had
been observed in previous surveys and were the identified coral species for
translocation from the donar site at Pillar Point.
Following the
spot-check dive, the substrate type and taxonomic composition of the receptor
site was assessed using REA method.
The REA survey was performed along a 100 m transect parallel to the
coastline (based on the preliminary results from the spot-check dives). The locations of the REA transects were
recorded on-site using a handheld GPS unit. The
GPS coordinates of the starting and ending points and maximum depth of the REA
transects are shown in Table 2.2.

The substrate
type along the length of the transect was recorded at
1 m intervals. The number of colonies, sizes and types of corals as well as their
abundance, depth and health status were recorded. Photographs of representative taxa along
the transect were also taken during the surveys.
Health
status of coral will be assessed by the following criteria:
·
Gorgonian
coral: Percentage of branches
exhibiting partial mortality and secretion of mucus.
·
Hard
coral: Percentage of surface area
exhibiting partial mortality and blanched/ bleached area using specially
designed Coral Health Monitoring Chart (Appendix A).
The
benthic cover (Tier I) and taxon abundance (Tier II) of the
transect were assessed in a swathe 2 m wide, 1 m either side of the
transect. Two assessment categories
(Tiers) were used in the surveys, as follows:
Tier I – Categorization of Benthic Cover
Upon the completion of each transect,
ecological and substratum attributes (Table
2.3) were assigned to
standard ranked ordinal categories (Table
2.4).

For substratum
attributes, it is preferable to record actual estimates of cover. The percentage
of hard substrata vs. soft substrata could be provided (eg 80% and 20%
respectively). The percentage cover
of the types of hard or soft substrata could also be presented (eg bedrock
pavement 60%, rubble 20%, sand 15%, mud / silt
5%). Similarly, recording and
presenting actual estimates of, for instance, hard and soft coral cover may be
more informative (eg <1%).
Tier II – Taxonomic Inventories to Define
Types of Benthic Communities
An inventory of benthic taxa along each
transect was compiled during the survey.
Taxa were identified in situ to the following levels:
·
Hard
corals to species, where possible;
·
Soft
corals, anemones and conspicuous macroalgae to genus level, where possible;
·
Other
benthos (including sponges, zoanthids, ascidians and bryozoans) to genus level,
where possible.
For each
transect, each taxon in the inventory was ranked in terms of abundance in the
community (Table 2.5). The taxon categories were ranked in
terms of relative abundance of individuals, rather than the contribution to
benthic cover along each transect.
The ranks are visual assessments of abundance, rather than quantitative
counts of each taxon.
Representative photos of organisms were taken.

In order to
distinguish the natural variation in health status of corals and the effects to
health status due to coral translocation, a total of 10 natural coral colonies of
the same species as those translocated from the donor site within and adjacent
to the receptor site were randomly selected and tagged. Baseline information was collected for
these tagged coral colonies before translocation and the type of information
collected would be the same as those collected for the coral colony during the baseline
survey at the donor site. The
baseline information collected would be used for the purpose of
post-translocation monitoring.
2.2.2
Pre-translocation Survey and
Coral Translocation at the Donor Site
A coral mapping survey was conducted at the donor
site at Pillar Point as part of the pre-translocation coral survey. The location of the donor site is shown
in Figure 2.2. Since the underwater visibility at the
donor site is very low (<0.5m), photo taking and relocating of all tagged
coral colonies after coral mapping is almost impossible. Therefore, coral translocation was
undertaken concurrently after locating the movable coral colonies.
The location of any hard corals and gorgonians
encountered were mapped. The size
and health condition (including percentage cover of bleaching, mortality,
degree of sedimentation) of the corals were recorded. The feasibility of translocation of
corals including but not limited to those of conservation importance were also
assessed.
The following
procedures were performed during coral translocation to minimize stress and
prevent damage to corals, as far as possible.
l
All tagged movable boulder (with diameter <50 cm)
supporting coral colony which was selected for translocation would be moved
entirely as a whole object, lifted from the sea bottom and loaded to ship/boat
with lifting bag.
l
The coral colonies transferred onto the vessel were fully
submerged in seawater tanks of suitable size with continuous aeration onboard. Each seawater tank held no more than four
boulders to avoid overcrowding.
l
Ambient water quality parameters such as sea surface water
temperature and dissolved oxygen were measured once (with at least three
replicates) at the coral donor site on the day of coral translocation. The seawater quality in the tanks was
checked every 10 minutes to ensure no fluctuation above 10% of ambient occurs
to the seawater in which the coral colonies were submerged.
l
Corals were transported to the receptor site as soon
as possible on the same day following the removal. The vessel progressed in a slow and
steady speed (<5 knots) when approaching close to the receptor site.
l
When arriving at the coral receptor site, SCUBA
divers, under the supervision of marine biologist with relevant experience,
carefully placed the boulders with coral colonies one by one to the seabed in
order to minimize disturbance to the seabed and/or sediment. The coral colonies were positioned to
similar depths and orientations as their previous locations at the donor site
as far as possible.
l
Divers would tag translocated colonies at the receptor
site with small plastic labels (e.g. with colony number) anchored or attached
on nearby hard substratum using epoxy without touching the corals. All tags were anchored in vicinity of
the coral colonies at distances not so close to interfere with the potential
growth. This would allow the
revisit of the coral colonies during the post-translocation monitoring.
l
Divers would record the size, location, health
conditions (percentage of mortality and bleaching), percentage cover of
sediment of each translocated coral colony after the completion of
translocation works using the same methodologies adopted in the
pre-translocation coral survey.
Photographs of each translocated coral upon completion of translocation
would be taken and used as a baseline for future monitoring.
l
After translocation was completed, an audit survey was
carried out on the same day at donor site to determine if all movable corals
have been translocated.

Results of Spot-check Dive
Result of qualitative spot-check dive confirmed that the seabed of the
proposed receptor site at Yam Tsai Wan was composed of natural bedrock and
boulders. The cover of hard
corals and octocorals was less than 1% with three coral species (Oulastrea crispata, Balanophyllia sp.
and Guaiagorgia sp.) recorded (Table 2.6).

Results of REA Survey
A 100 m transect was laid at the receptor site, Yam Tsai Wan. Location of REA survey is presented in Figure 2.1.
The seabed at
the REA survey area of Yam Tsai Wan was predominately composed of natural
bedrock and boulders down to water depth of -4mCD whilst sand was the main
substrate type beyond -4mCD.
Cover of hard corals and octocorals were only about 1% along the REA
transect with only one hermatypic hard coral species (Oulastrea crispata), one ahermatypic coral species (Balanophyllia sp.) and one ocotocoral species (Guaiagorgia
sp.) recorded. Results of Tier I
showing seabed attributes along the REA transect are presented in Table 2.7. Results of Tier II showing
ordinal rank of taxon abundance are presented in Table 2.8. All
coral species recorded are common and have a widespread distribution throughout
Hong Kong’s nearshore waters.

Ten (10) coral
colonies of Guaiagorgia sp., ten (10)
coral colonies of Oulastrea crispata
and six (6) boulders with more than twenty (20) Balanophyllia sp. colonies
were tagged at the receptor site. Health conditions of the tagged colonies
are summarized in Table 2.11. These data will be used for the purpose
of post-translocation monitoring.
Photos of the tagged coral colonies are shown in Appendix C.

Overall, it is considered that the proposed receptor site, Yam Tsai Wan,
would have sufficient space to receive all translocated coral colonies from
donor site, Pillar Point.
Therefore, Yam Tsai Wan is considered to be a suitable receptor site for
coral translocation for this Contract.
2.3.2
Pre-translocation Survey
and Coral Translocation at Donor Site
Twenty-four (24) Oulastrea crispata colonies, nine (9)
boulders with Balanophyllia sp.
colonies and twenty-two (23) Guaiagorgia sp.
colonies in Pillar Point were successfully translocated to the receptor site at
Yam Tsai Wan between 21 to 23 October 2013. Areas in the donor site with movable
coral colonies were marked in Figure 2.2 and area at the receptor site within which translocated
coral colonies were placed was shown in Figure 2.1 with relevant information (ie location, depth, substrate) presented in Table
2.12. The general health
conditions (size, mortality, bleaching and sediment) of translocated corals
from Pillar Point were recorded and summarized in Table 2.12 while conditions of coral which were not translocated
were presented in Table 2.13. Photos of the translocated coral colonies
from donor site are shown in Appendix C.
An audit survey was
carried out at Pillar Point on 23 October 2013 after coral translocation was
completed and it is confirmed that all movable coral colonies that may
potentially be affected by the construction works were translocated to Yam Tsai
Wan.

Post-TRANSLOCATION MONITORING
Twenty-four (24) movable Oulastrea
crispata colonies, nine (9) movable boulders with Balanophyllia sp. and twenty-two (22) movable Guaiagorgia sp. colonies, which may be affected by the proposed construction
works of the Northern Connection Sub-sea Tunnel Section of TM-CLK Link Project,
were successfully translocated from the donar site at Pillar Point to the
receptor site at Yam Tsai Wan.
Following the translocation, the translocated coral colonies
as well as the tagged natural coral colonies at the receptor site will be
monitored once every three (3) months for a period of 12 months in order to
track the health status of the translocated corals.
The tentative
schedule of the quarterly post-translocation monitoring is provided in Table 3.1 below. A Post-Translocation
Monitoring Report will be submitted to EPD and AFCD two weeks after completion
of each quarterly survey.

Post-Translocation Monitoring

Post-translocation
monitoring results will be evaluated against Action and Limit Levels which will
be based on recorded changes in percentage of partial mortality of the corals (Table 3.2). If the defined
Action Level or Limit Level for coral monitoring is exceeded, the actions as
set out in Table 3.3 will be
implemented.

Limit Level Definition |
|
Mortality |
If during Impact Monitoring a 15% increase in the
percentage of partial mortality on the corals occurs at more than 20% of the
translocated coral colonies that is not recorded on the original corals at
the receptor site, then the Action Level is exceeded. |
If during Impact Monitoring a 25% increase in the
percentage of partial mortality on the corals occurs at more than 20% of the
translocated coral colonies that is not recorded on the original corals at
the receptor site, then the Limit Level is exceeded. |
