Mai Po Management Plan

Public Access Zone

Managed access will be allowed in order to raise awareness about the value of wetlands and the Ramsar Site.

The purpose of the Public Access Zone is to enable people to have unrestricted (but managed) access to a part of the Ramsar site in order to appreciate its special values and enjoy contact with wildlife. In addition, it provides opportunities for: public education; raising public awareness of the conservation values of the site, particularly as they relate to the Ramsar criteria values and biodiversity values; and quiet recreation relevant to the aforementioned values.
