In preparation for the coming migratory and wintering season, the habitat management team of Mai Po Nature Reserve is preparing an open, non-vegetative shallow water habitat for those soon to be arrived waterbirds. The team is conducting the following works at gei wai #16/17, the largest high-tide roosting site within the reserve:
1. Lower the gei wai water level for grass cutting work on bird islands and surrounding area in late July.
2. Submerge bird island vegetations by raising the gei wai water level as high as possible for two months (Aug – Sep) to minimize the growth and spreading of vegetations. At the meantime, alternative high-tide roosting sites such as gei wai #11 (in front of Bird hide no. 8) will be maintained under relatively low water level, ensuring available roosting habitats for migratory waterbirds.
3. Readjust the water level to normal operation level in October.

In preparation for the coming migratory and wintering season, the habitat management team of Mai Po Nature Reserve is preparing an open, non-vegetative shallow water habitat for those soon to be arrived waterbirds. The team will have the following work arrangements at gei wai #16/17, the largest high-tide roosting site within the reserve:
1. Lower the gei wai water level for grass cutting work on bird islands and surrounding area in mid July.
2. Submerge bird island vegetations by raising the gei wai water level as high as possible from late July to early October to minimize the growth and spreading of vegetations. In the meantime, alternative high-tide roosting sites such as gei wai #11 (in front of Bird hide no. 8) will be maintained under relatively low water level, ensuring available roosting habitats for migratory waterbirds.
