For approximately eight months, a silt curtain, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within the area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (C) and the adjacent shoreline:
(A) 22°17.054’N / 114°11.175’E
(B) 22°17.077’N / 114°11.251’E
(C) 22°17.072’N / 114°11.253’E
The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain.
