Starfish Bay Biodiversity

Though not the most attractive habitats, the intertidal estuaries of Hong Kong support a vast array of life, including countless snails, worms, crabs and bivalves, such as clams as mussels. So for anyone who enjoys looking for small marine creatures in rock pools or in the sand, estuaries are a treasure trove. One of the most accessible of these habitats is in Starfish Bay, which is located within easy walking distance of Ma On Shan and, at low tide, is a great place to find some of Hong Kong’s weirdest but most wonderful species. However, it is important to remember that mudflats are fragile habitats that are sensitive to disturbance, particularly to activities like clam digging. So when visiting them, be sure to not disturb wildlife and to avoid walking in sensitive habitats such as mangroves. <a href="https://medium.com/wwfhk-e/starfish-bay-biodiversity-74d675695edf">Click Here</a>
