Cordgrass Removal Actions

Cordgrass (Spartina spp.) is an invasive species. It grows rapidly and takes over large areas of the wetland, making it impossible for mangroves to grow naturally, which in turn threatens various precious animal species that inhabit there.

Pak Nai, Lau Fau Shan is listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The wetlands and mangroves in the area are important habitats for horseshoe crabs, egrets and seagrass, as well as the globally endangered Black-faced Spoonbill.

To halt the ongoing invasion of Cordgrass across the wetland ecosystem and recover the wetland, we initiated Cordgrass Removal Actions, together with a series of Cordgrass removal activities.

Cordgrass Removal Actions kicked off in 2014 and continues till today. If you wish to join us or get the latest information, please Subscribe to Green Power's latest news.
