Two questions spring to my mind regarding the HKBWS proposal:
1. The proposal seems to only concentrate on Po Toi Island. Could the HKBWS have taken this opportunity to also push for stronger protection of Waglan Island, which is home to an important colony of breeding terns (especially Bridled and Roseate) and Pacific Swifts. There is often disturbance to this island. The ecological value of other islands in the Po Toi group may also be relatively high, but does not seem to have been studied.
2. I note that the same document cited by HKBWS to propose Po Toi as a country Park also proposes Country Park status for South Lamma. Could the HKBWS not have taken a stronger stance against the proposed marina development on South Lamma, which is of a much larger scale than the proposed colombarium on Po Toi, threatening habitat for migratory birds, Romer's Tree Frog, Green Turtle and marine coral communities?
