Water Quality of Victoria Harbour
148. With continuous improvement in the water quality of Victoria Harbour, we can better promote a water-friendly culture, and realise the amenity, leisure and tourism potential of the harbour and coastal areas. Upon the completion of the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme Stage 2A next year, the water quality of Victoria Harbour will see substantial improvement. The Government will study ways to further enhance the water quality of the urban coastal waters.
Environment and Conservation Fund
149. Since its establishment in 1994, the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF) has achieved remarkable success in engaging different sectors of the community in environmental protection and organised more than 3 900 environmental protection activities. As a long-term commitment to environmental protection and conservation, I propose injecting $5 billion into the ECF so that investment returns of the fund can provide long-term and sustained support for green actions initiated by the community.
