* we are not sure the last species, I will go to visit the site in next weekend and take some photo.

Some of the mangroves tree are over 6m tall which is uncommon in Sai Kung. The :D sea grass species Halophila ovata are also founded.

Except the pollution along the seashore, this is a good site for bird watching, anyone feel intrest, pls contact me for details.
